FRONTERRA’s Post

🌱 FRONTERRA is thrilled to announce that we entered into an investment agreement with ECOM Agroindustrial Corp. Ltd., a global leader in soft commodities, to spearhead grouped conservation and carbon projects in the heart of the #Peruvian #Amazon. 🌍 🚀 About ECOM: Headquartered in Switzerland and operating in 40 producing countries, ECOM is a giant in #cacao, #coffee, and #cotton. With deep roots in Latin America and a longstanding commitment to sustainability, ECOM works with thousands of farmers and local businesses to drive responsible agricultural practices. 🎯 Project Focus: Our collaboration will begin with an ambitious project centered on empowering farmers and native communities in the Amazon, promoting sustainable land use through innovative cocoa-based #agroforestry systems—all while adhering to strict zero-deforestation principles. 🌳 A Balanced Approach to Development and Preservation: This initiative not only aims to restore degraded lands and boost smallholder farmers' productivity but also to preserve the rainforest ecosystems, proving that economic growth and environmental protection can go hand-in-hand. Key Features of the Agreement: 🌱 Sustainable Agroforestry: A long-term investment in cocoa-based agroforestry systems that delivers economic prosperity to local communities while safeguarding the environment. Zero deforestation is a core pillar of this approach, ensuring sustainable growth with nature at the heart. 🛡️ Strengthening Territorial Control: By improving territorial surveillance, this project will support native communities in protecting their lands from illegal activities, including deforestation and land grabbing. Additionally, the initiative will help communities secure formal land tenure, solidifying property rights for generations to come. 💼 Empowering Community Governance: Through capacity-building programs, we will strengthen community governance, empowering native populations to make informed decisions and manage their resources sustainably, ensuring a brighter, self-sufficient future. 🌟 A Catalyst for Regional Impact: This initial investment sets the stage for an even broader portfolio of nature-based solutions across Latin America. Together, we aim to contribute to the global fight against #climatechange while driving inclusive, sustainable development in the region. 🌎💼 #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Conservation #Agroforestry #AmazonRainforest #NatureBasedSolutions #EnvironmentalLeadership #EconomicEmpowerment Monica Mariño Ana Nicod Maritza Trujillo Patricia Fernández-Dávila Messum Carlos Enrique Mogollon Calvo Lucio Villa Alejandra Manrique Milla Sanchari Chatterji Tessa Lagaüzeire Hannah Walsh Rafael Tolmos T.
