Introduction

In 2008 Greenwood Management ApS started the planning process for the proposed agroforestry projects in Brazil. In order to proceed, a feasibility study was carried out to ensure the site was located in a region with high agricultural activity. Furthermore, buyers for timber products were found to be easily reachable by rail or road.

There are a number of Google Earth tours that you can access below in order to view the region in greater detail.
