Aliados is creating resilient community businesses in the Andes and the Amazon—and connecting them

Contar con información confiable también es una forma de fortalecer la bioeconomía.

Hoy queremos compartir el relanzamiento de la plataforma Desafío Pan-Amazonía, una iniciativa que reúne datos, mapas e información estratégica para comprender mejor el ecosistema de la sociobioeconomía en la región.

Entre sus recursos, la plataforma incluye un mapeo de bionegocios asociativos de la Panamazonía, una herramienta que permite visibilizar iniciativas, identificar oportunidades de articulación y fortalecer la toma de decisiones para quienes trabajan por el desarrollo sostenible del territorio.

Desde ALIADOS celebramos este tipo de iniciativas que promueven el acceso al conocimiento y generan mejores oportunidades para las organizaciones y comunidades que impulsan la bioeconomía.

¿Qué tipo de información consideras valiosa para fortalecer los bionegocios de la ?

Se sigue sumando esfuerzos, el Gobierno Parroquial de Atahualpa, el Grupo RAI, el Consejo Provincial y las familias productoras para fortalecer prácticas agrícolas más sostenibles y resilientes.

¡El trabajo articulado hace posible un campo más fuerte y sostenible! 👏

Nos alegra profundamente acompañar estos espacios de aprendizaje práctico junto al GAD Parroquial y la Corporación Toisán, donde productores y familias comparten conocimientos sobre agroecología, cuidado del suelo y producción responsable.

Creemos en el trabajo colaborativo como una herramienta clave para conectar a agricultores con más oportunidades, mientras se fortalecen procesos comunitarios desde el territorio!! 😀🌱

Meet Gerson, from our Amazon-based team 🌳

He’s an Indigenous leader who incorporates his local knowledge of the land into the management of regenerative businesses.

And on top of that, he loves being part of the ALIADOS team!

Hear from him on why he supports our mission and supports the farmers working across the region bring their products to market.

Muchas gracias Gerson, ¡por todo lo que haces!

If you ride through the Amazon, you’ll find tree branches, heavy with colorful pods, ready to be harvested, and that means… It’s macambo season!

Unlike cacao, which is often picked directly from the tree, ripe macambo fruits are either gathered from the ground after they fall or harvested from the tree when they turn yellow.

Many of the Amazonian farmers we work with have been cultivating macambo alongside cacao, vanilla, and native trees to create diverse, nutrient-dense agroforestry systems.

These “bosques comestibles” restore degraded land while generating reliable income from native crops.

This season, ALIADOS supported partners like with farm mapping, post-harvest planning, and buyer connections, ensuring macambo moves efficiently from seed to market.

then takes these super pods to their kitchens and turns them into delicious snacks, like their macambo praline bar.

This macambo season, head to in Quito to try all of the Canopy Bridge macambo treats!

The ALIADOS Fund was designed with our community partners to open new opportunities for capital where it’s needed most.

Our objectives are carefully thought-out but simple:
➡️Support early-stage community enterprises that don’t have access to the finance they need
➡️Provide blended and catalytic finance structures adapted to local business conditions, not just one-size-fits-all models.

Months later, it’s encouraging to see how well this funding structure responds to local needs.

In 2025 alone, we issued 12 working capital loans totaling more than $155K to local businesses across the Amazon, Andes, and Chocó regions.

And to date, we are thrilled that all outstanding loans have been repaid! 👏

Each investment is paired with tailored technical assistance, including capacity-building and market access, to ensure sustainable growth.

As we look ahead, we’re expanding our blended finance approach to mobilize more capital on the ground and in the territories we support.

Thank you to our partners who help bring these catalytic funding opportunities to community enterprises around Ecuador 🇪🇨

We work across three globally significant bioregions: the Amazon, the Chocó, and the Tropical Andes.

Each region holds distinct cultures and ecosystems, but all share the need for regenerative livelihoods that protect biodiversity.

We asked our team which region inspires them the most and everyone had a different take.

Which ecosystem is your favorite? 🌳

The best way to see our impact is through the eyes of the communities we support.

Last year, we organized a photography and video contest for youth leaders from the Amazon, Andes, and Chocó regions to see how they document their territories. 📸

As part of the initiative, we taught them about framing, the rule of thirds, and composition techniques for capturing the “best” shot.

And honestly, we couldn’t be more proud of the results!

With beautiful shots of flowers, landscapes, and community members, we love how these young communicators documented their territories, capturing the ecosystems, culture, and change from within.

¡Muchas gracias a Narcisa, Nayeli Imbaquingo, Victor Quintero y Alexander Muenala por realizar este proyecto con nosotros!

The foundation for healthy forests and resilient farms begins with healthy soil. 🌳

Last month, our technical team led a two-phase soil health workshop with farmer partners in the Amazon, bridging traditional knowledge and applied science to our local partners.

🌱 Phase 1: We conducted a field-based assessments of soil fauna and structure, using methods farmers can replicate without labs.
🔬 Phase 2: We prepared a laboratory analysis to better understand the nutrients, biology, and long-term soil health from the surrounding area.

By equipping farmers with practical tools to monitor and restore their soils, we’re reducing dependency on external inputs and strengthen regenerative systems from the ground up, one pound of dirt at a time 🤝
