These aspects of our actions make us particularly sustainable:
- Organic cultivation of the rare original cocoa Chuncho and the coffee Tipica in species-rich agroforestry systems that protect biodiversity, climate and soil in the long term.
- Protection of intact rainforest areas and reforestation of degraded areas with the aim of preserving important ecosystems and creating ecological corridors between intact habitats.
- Re-valorization of old rainforest areas through the regulated collection of wild Brazil nuts and the breeding and planting of Brazil nut trees.
- Supporting the protection of Andean bears by promoting small-scale physalis cultivation.
- Direct and fair trade, combined with pre-financing of the harvest and the establishment of long-term, reliable supply contracts with smallholder families.
To ensure that we are also economically sustainable, we need the ongoing support of our customers. So many thanks to all of you who keep buying our products and promoting us! Only together can we achieve our big goals.
