THE ORIGIN
Plukenetia volubilis has been cultivated in the Amazon and Andean foothills for millennia. Indigenous communities recognized its extraordinary nutritional density long before modern science confirmed it. Plukenia sources exclusively from smallholder farms in the Amazon — supporting rural livelihoods and regenerative agriculture while delivering the world’s finest Sacha Inchi.
Why it matters
The Amazon is ground zero for one of the world’s most urgent ecological and social challenges. Plukenia partners with farming communities in areas historically affected by illegal crop economies — offering Sacha Inchi cultivation as a superior economic alternative that regenerates the land instead of depleting it.
Sacha Inchi fixes nitrogen, protects topsoil, and thrives in agroforestry systems.
Viable economic alternative to illicit crops in vulnerable Colombian regions.
Direct income to smallholder families at premium prices above commodity markets.
Canopy cultivation removes atmospheric carbon while producing food.
