Scaling the sustainable food value chains of the Amazon Forest is essential for both forest conservation and climate mitigation. This session will explore the Amazon's potential to provide diverse ingredients, raw products, and superfoods rooted in biodiversity and traditional knowledge. Featuring a diverse panel of experts, we'll delve into the challenges and opportunities of developing a forest-based food economy that generates income for vulnerable communities while offering an alternative to deforestation-driven activities. Engage in a dynamic discussion on leveraging the Amazon's natural resources to create a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive global food system.
