We do this by creating habitat for biodiversity, healthy food for consumers, and perhaps most importantly, improving the lives of people working in rural areas.
Rural communities are currently suffering from inadequate income, limited upward mobility, and overexposure to cancerous agrotoxins. This is leading to an aging population of farmers as young rural people flee the countryside for cities, often to marginalized areas.
Courageous Land is working towards drastically improving rural life by A) providing participation in future profits to everyone that works with us, plus above market wages in a fulfilling environment B) access to CL sales channels and education for local smallholder farmers C) a safe work space with no agrotoxins, as we focus on organic cultivation.
In the near future, Courageous Land will donate 1% of all food grown to nourish vulnerable Brazilians, especially children. In addition, in accordance with our commitment as a B-Corp, Courageous Land formally commits to donating the equivalent of 2% or more of revenue to charitable organizations annually. We strongly believe in the cultural and ancestral value of agriculture, and agroforestry in particular. The planet needs new regenerative farmers.
Finally, we work to prioritize job creation and empowerment of women in all locations, and in Roraima we prioritize the inclusion of Venezuelan refugees as they adapt to Brazil.
