Why the Amazon?
With 4 million trees disappearing every year, the Amazon, one of the three largest primary forests in the world, is also one of the most affected by deforestation. The cause: industrial agriculture, which generates two thirds of the deforestation in South America.
Qiriness is associated with the project located in the state of Rondônia, which aims to plant 500,000 trees in order to reduce deforestation through agroforestry, while involving local populations in the creation of comestible forests on degraded lands and guaranteeing them access to these resources.
Different fruit species (açai, pineapple, coffee, cocoa, ...) will contribute to the food security of small landowners and allow them to earn additional income.
