They are co-founders, designers, carbon project developers, business developers...but also mothers, farmers, ecologists and so so much more!

Meet Urihi’s first product: the Aroeira Honey! 🌎 This naturally mixed honey and honeydew comes from the Tropical Dry Forests located in the North of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and acknowledged with Denomination of Origin 💊 It has antimicrobial, antioxidant, gastrointestinal properties, and one of the highest concentration of polyphenols found in any honey in thew world, with a less sweet taste and the unique characteristic of never crystallizing at room temperature 🐝 But it also has environmental super powers: it’s a more lucrative option than cattle ranching, and farmers are replacing this activity for beekeeping 🌳 To expand in this activity and grow their business, they are joining our tropical dry forests restoration project, aimed to reforest areas of the most threatened forest type in the world which have been converted to pastureland. This is the first of a series of unique nature-positive non-timber forest products from monitored areas of conservation and our restoration/agroforestry projects, so stay tune!| #foodismedicine #aroeira #tropicaldryforests #urihi  #thestandingforesteconomy
