HOW THE AMAZONE PROJECT WORKS

step 1

From exhausted land to food forest

In Brazil, our partners purchase depleted agricultural land that would otherwise be cleared or cut down. On those 33 m² per bond, we plant an agroforestry system: bananas and açaí for the short term, cocoa and coffee for the years to come, plus trees that capture CO₂. In this way, dead land is gradually transformed back into a healthy, productive piece of the Amazon.

step 2

From harvest to income

The crops yield returns in different phases: first bananas and açaí, later cocoa, coffee and select hardwood. This provides work and income for local farmers, women and refugees in the region. At the same time, biodiversity is increasing and CO₂ is captured annually per bond.

Step 3

From yield to return

The sale of bananas, açaí, cocoa, coffee and hardwood provides the project’s cash flow. This is used to repay your loan in instalments each year, and you receive an average return of 7.3% per annum for 17 years. This allows you to profit from agriculture that restores the Amazon rather than depleting it.

Frequently asked questions

Why is agroforestry sustainable?

Agroforestry is sustainable because it combines agricultural practices with the cultivation of trees and other plants, creating a more diverse and resilient ecosystem. This system also reduces the need for synthetic inputs, improves soil health, sequesters carbon, and offers farmers numerous benefits, including higher yields and income diversification.

Who buys the harvest proceeds?

Most of the fruit is sold at local (wholesale) markets. We sell as much as possible locally, both to the local population and to minimise transport. Courageous Land already has a buyer for coffee: Amazônia Agroflorestal is willing to pay premium prices for climate-positive beans. There is also growing demand for cocoa, a wonderful indigenous variety. In addition, discussions are underway with Cargill, a US-based multinational company in the food and agriculture sectors. It is one of the largest private companies in the world, supplying food and agricultural products to customers in more than 70 countries.

Who is your local partner?

Courageous Land is a Brazilian agroforestry company that designs, plants and manages biodiverse and agriculturally productive reforestation projects on deforested land. The company won the World Economic Forum’s Amazon Bio-economy Challenge 2022 for its pioneering work in creating agroforests that capture CO₂ while producing organic and regenerative crops.

Corekees is accessible, which is great. You don't need to be a financial expert or invest a large amount of money to participate. I used to find investing very intimidating and complicated, but with Corekees, it's simple and accessible.
