Turning Degraded Land into Thriving Agroforestry Systems for Local Farmers
Update: 2025-05-11
Description
In 2022 alone, 4.1 million hectares of tropical forest were lost due to drought, deforestation, and wildfires, contributing significantly to global carbon emissions. Viridis Terra is addressing this urgent issue by focusing on the restoration of significantly degraded lands in the Ucayali and Loreto regions of Peru. Today’s SFP guest, Martin Beaudion Nadeau, is Viridis Terra’s Founder and CEO. In the program he talks about more sustainable farm management systems, including establishing biodiverse forests and agroforestry practices, and integrating native tree species and crops like cocoa and citrus. This aids in carbon sequestration and provides a sustainable source of income for local farming communities, empowering them toward long-term economic stability.
