## Our impact


### What do we do?

We serve as the “go-to” team for banks, companies and investors seeking to expand innovative finance for deforestation/conversion-free soy, cattle, agroforestry, and non-timber forest products in these regions. We want to scale innovative financial mechanisms—including farm loan products, farmland investment funds, corporate debt instruments and capital markets offerings—and help farmers implement proven business models to supply the global market without further conversion of the Amazon, Cerrado and Chaco ecosystems.
