Laura Joffre tells our story brilliantly – capturing how, and why, we sow the seeds for environmental and social change in the Peruvian Amazon. If you’re interested in learning more about our sustainable agroforestry models and how these benefit smallholder communities, restore biodiversity, as well as mitigate local and global climate change – take a look! 🌱

The articles provides insights into how the carbon offsetting element of our project works and the pro-bono legal support we’ve had from international firm Hogan Lovells.

Alex Dolmans, head of Hogan Lovells’ corporate and commercial practice in Spain, who has been advising Henman as part of the law firm’s pro-bono work for the past 10 years, explains how his team in Madrid created a template agreement in “plain Peruvian Spanish” for the farmers to sign.

Jenny Henman explains:

If the carbon price continues to rise, the potential income from the carbon is higher than the value of the land if they sold it. It’s quite significant.

The articles also provides some insights directly from smallholder farmers involved in the project as to why they joined and the benefits they have seen.

It is a great 5 minute read to accompany your morning coffee ☕
