Regenerative Agriculture Projects
FROM GREEN DOT YERBA MATE
At Green Dot, we believe that every species — no matter how small — plays a vital role in maintaining ecosystem productivity. This deep respect for biodiversity is woven into the way we grow and harvest yerba mate in Argentina. Inspired by nature’s balance, we’re committed to preserving it through sustainable, regenerative practices.
We donate 6% of our profits to support sustainability projects across the Jaguar Corridor — from the U.S. Southwest to Northern Argentina, where our yerba mate Argentina roots run deep.
Madre Del Monte
The agricultural technician, Pablo Montoya, is leading our “Madre del Monte” (“Mother of the Mountain”) project in the heart of Misiones, Argentina.
Forest nurseries are a vital first step in restoring degraded ecosystems and improving quality of life for local communities. At Green Dot, we’re establishing a forest nursery to grow seedlings of Araucaria angustifolia and other native species from the region. Located in the heart of the Misiones Green Corridor — home to our yerba mate Argentina farms — this nursery will support critical reforestation efforts and help protect native forests threatened by logging and habitat loss.
Our nursery is gradually transitioning to an Agroforestry Model, where native trees are cultivated alongside yerba mate trees. This method, used on our yerba mate Argentina farms, benefits the entire ecosystem — the added trees provide shade, helping mate leaves retain more nutrients and flavor. The increased organic material also enhances soil moisture and supports healthier root systems for all plants.
Agroforestry is widely recognized as a holistic food production system with significant environmental, economic, and social benefits. Through intercropping, we diversify the land, generate additional income, and contribute to the reforestation of the Atlantic Forest — helping restore balance to this vital ecosystem.
