Vanilla vines naturally grow in Sylves, dense tropical rainforests, climbing up all sorts of existing trees. Its growth environment is referred to as its terroir, and includes the environment and also the climate, the geography and local geology as well as its entire ecosystem and biodiversity. By cultivating vanilla vines in agroforestry, the local communities, living in tropical forests and part of these ecosystems, thrive to generate a sustainable revenue in a circular economy while protecting the existing biodiversity. This is why we choose to support agroforestry vanilla. Not only we invest in vanilla pods and plantations, we create storages, local stocks and markets, also build trade tools, and share knowledge and know-how to continuously support Agroforestry Vanilla Farmers around the world and contribute to more agroforestry farms and diversity.
