This paper aims to articulate the importance of agroforestry systems and sustainable management of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) in addressing sustainable land-use for Brazil development needs, demonstrating the role of finance in supporting the establishment and scaling of new business models in this sector. It is intended to support banks, asset managers, investors, value chain companies and other financial institutions in understanding the need and potential solutions to mobilize additional and more flexible financial flows to these value chains, and the role that IFACC can play to accelerate progress.
