Implementation partner
As part of the environmental pillar RegeneRaízes, the Instituto Justiça (IJ), in partnership with Agroforestree, implemented four agroforests in the states of São Paulo, Santa Catarina, and Pará. This initiative combines sustainability, food security, and social development.
In addition to planting, the project provided training to farmers and local communities, teaching efficient and sustainable techniques, encouraging rural entrepreneurship, and promoting awareness about the importance of environmental conservation.

Agroforestry is a practice that integrates the cultivation of native trees with agricultural crops, regenerating degraded areas and promoting food security sustainably. The strength of this method lies in the synergy between native and agricultural species, which enriches the soil, favors more abundant harvests, and eliminates the need for crop rotation. This directly contributes to income generation and the strengthening of family farming.
The initiative also had a significant impact on the environment: the agroforestry systems implemented neutralized all the carbon emitted by the Porsche Cup Challenge category in Brazil in 2024. More than 4.3 tons of CO₂ were offset.
With 588 trees planted, 61 distinct species, and 5 communities impacted, the project demonstrated how it is possible to unite environmental regeneration, income generation, and social transformation.
