Dipteryx oleífera, or Choiba, is a powerful symbol of resilience and sustainability, deeply rooted in the ecosystems of the Ecuadorian Andes. Known for its ability to prevent soil erosion, conserve water, and support biodiversity, this tree is a cornerstone in Andean agroforestry. Its deep roots stabilize the steep Andean slopes, helping protect the soil and surrounding farmlands while creating habitats for a variety of species, especially birds, which are vital to the region’s ecological balance.
Our choice to name our agroforestry products store “Choiba” reflects our commitment to these principles. Just as the tree nurtures the land and fosters growth, we strive to offer products that support regenerative agricultural practices. We’re rooted in a vision of agriculture that goes beyond sustainability, aiming to restore and enrich the land.
Choiba stands as an emblem of our dedication to biodiversity and soil health, connecting our mission to the wisdom and natural resilience of the Ecuadorian Andes. Through each product, we invite our community to join us in cultivating a balanced, thriving ecosystem, honoring the land we all share.
We are proud to partner with conscious producers from communities across the Ecuadorian Andes, bringing their dedication and sustainable practices to a wider audience.
Through these collaborations, we aim to expand our offerings, showcasing an ever-growing variety of agroforestry products that celebrate and support the region's biodiversity and regenerative agriculture. Together, we are building a future where our shared commitment to ecological balance and community empowerment takes root and flourishes.
