The Amazonia Agroforestry Hub is a community-led project improving livelihoods in the Ecuadorian Amazon by integrating traditional practices with innovative approaches to learning, harvesting, feeding, and leisuring. This symbiotic approach allows communities to sustainably produce within the rainforest, demonstrating that conservation thrives not through exclusion, but through responsible production and harmonious co-existence.
