LINKAGES. Local and Indigenous Knowledge for an Amazonian Grounded (Bio) Economy
Principal Investigators: dr. Fabio de Castro (University of Amsterdam) and dr. Celia Futemma (UNICAMP Universidade Estadual de Campinas)

Consortium partners, including cooperation partners: Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA), Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV), Imaflora, Projeto Saúde e Alegria (PSA), Cooperativa Agrícola Mista de Tomé-Açu (CAMTA), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU)

LINKAGES addresses how value-chains of sociobiodiversity products, grounded in local knowledge and produced in forest, agroforestry, and floodplain-lakes, can support local economies and regional transformation towards sustainable, inclusive bioeconomies for the Brazilian Amazon. Built upon long-term commitment to the region, a transdisciplinary consortium including researchers, farmers, and practitioners will analyse the organisation and functioning of place-based value-chains (açaí, cacao, tropical fruits, timber/non-timber products, and the arapaima fish) and their economic and environmental impacts at local and municipal levels. The project will co-produce knowledge to advance economic, environmental, and administrative and technical performance improving value-aggregation, benefit sharing, and landscape outcomes.
