About the organisation
Instituto Terroá, founded in 2015, promotes sustainable development through participatory processes and integrated solutions. Its main focus areas include “Engaged and Sustainable Territories,” “Fair and Inclusive Economy,” and “Civic Education and Political Innovation.” Terroá serves as a hub for social technologies, connecting communities, governments, companies, and universities to foster the development of more inclusive and sustainable territories.
With projects across various regions of Brazil, Instituto Terroá strengthens community organizations and socio-biodiversity value chains. It also collaborates with schools and youth to promote quality education and support initiatives that have a social and environmental impact. The organization’s goal is to empower communities to become more autonomous, enabling them to make informed decisions on territorial management, ecosystem conservation, and biodiversity promotion. Additionally, the Institute seeks to stimulate inclusive local economies that enhance well-being, while promoting climate resilience and ensuring equity and fundamental rights.
