The Alto Huayabamba project, initiated at the beginning of 2008, proposes small producers by developing an agro-forest model following biological and biodynamic models. , the producers build up a new source of income for themselves and facilitate at the same time the biodiversity and the regeneration of grounds in their region. In total, 2 million trees will be uprooted by 2013, in consortium with the fields of cacao or in degraded areas. In a complementary way, the project encourages the development of primary forest areas (deforestation provided).
