Seeding Biosocioeconomy
SDG 1: No Poverty

What if our way of life could connect with a thriving nature, rather than destroying its richness and diversity? This is what socio-bioeconomy proposes and is turning into a reality on the ground. This model connects the traditional knowledge of communities about the best ways to use, restore, and protect resources, with the creation of employment and exploration of products that come from nature but do not exploit it. If socio-bioeconomy was more broadly implemented in Brazil, for example, it could actually restore more than 24 million hectares of forest and boost the Amazon’s GDP by 40 billion reais annually.
But what does socio-bioeconomy look like on the ground? This is what we explored in the film by Nature4Climate and If Not Us Then Who, in collaboration with the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, filmed in Oiapoque, Brasília, and São Paulo, showcasing the efforts of Indigenous and local communities like Uasei Açaí driving this change and the impact of the socio-bioeconomy as a scalable solution worldwide.
