MAIN THEME: Environment
SUMMARY
Origens Brasil defends the paths for the sustainable development of the Amazon based on valuing the economic activities of traditional populations and indigenous peoples, their cultures and way of life.
GOALS
Encouraging and facilitating the development of the standing forest economy in territories of socio-environmental diversity, creating mechanisms capable of adding value to the chains of socio-biodiversity, valuing the territories, products, traditional populations and indigenous peoples who live there.
DESCRIPTION
Designed to increase the income of traditional populations, the initiative reduces intermediaries in the marketing of products, bringing the producer closer to the consumer in an ethical, transparent and balanced way.
The collaborative network is made up of companies, support institutions, producers and consumers who are responsible for making product information available on a digital platform. In this environment, everyone starts to promote governance that privileges the social and environmental conditions of the territories, fairer trade and the valorization of local production. Thus, it is possible to know the history of each product that arrives in your hands.
RESULTS ACHIEVED
More than 1,500 producers from 34 ethnic groups are currently participating in the initiative. There are 40 community organizations involved, 14 companies and 36 products with the Origens Brasil seal.
