Acai Berries: Just Another Delicious, Antioxidant Rich Fruit From the Amazon
Natural remedy expert Chris Kilham shared his experiences visiting an area of the Brazilian Amazon forest where acai is grown sustainably. He agrees that the acai berry is a delicious and healthy food, but is even more impressed that parts of the acai industry are working to preserve the Amazon rainforest. Sambazon Acai, lead by Ryan Black, has been influential in sustainable acai berry harvesting.
“Our wildharvesting system was developed in conjunction with the Forest Sustainability Council,” Ryan explains. “We’ve taught people how to wildharvestacai, and protect the forest at the same time.” Through ecologically sound agro-forestry management practices, Sambazon has established a top-notch conservation program that protects the Amazon rainforest and minimizes habitat loss. On top of that, they’ve implemented a fair wage system that provides higher than average wages to over ten thousand familiesin Brazil’s Amapa state. Sambazon has won praise and support from World Wildlife Federation, The Nature Conservancy and Greenpeace. As far as Ryan is concerned, it’s all just a reasonable and fair way to operate a business. “Might as well do it right if you’re going to do it,” he comments.”
