Zofia Page imagines a scenario so absurd it reads like satire – yet, in the current climate, disturbingly plausible, and all too close to the reality of rainforest destruction.

Bekuwa Kayapó of COOB-AY, the co-op that supplies our Brazil nuts, joins us in an exchange rooted in friendship, cultural reverence, hope for our shared future.

Solidarity Trade started as a group of friends that, through a shared dream and commitment to food sovereignty, decided to bring the Kayapó’s Brazil nuts to the UK for the first time. We knew we had to create a supply chain that defied the status quo, built on a foundation of friendship. We had to start developing an economy rooted in love.

When you buy the Kayapó's PI'Y Brazil nuts, you’re doing more than experiencing a (delicious!) taste of the Amazon rainforest. Each purchase has significant agency attached to it. It acts as a vote for a more just, sustainable system, contributing to the financial independence necessary for the Kayapó to continue their commitment to protecting the rainforest. We call it Solidarity Trade.
