Sustain Peru Sustain Peru is a research project in Madre de Dios. We are developing a sustainable value chain of Brazil nuts for Swiss consumers.

Somos un proyecto de investigación. Desarrollamos una cadena de valor sostenible de castaña para consumidores Suizos. SUSTAIN is a Swiss-funded research project that explores models for resilience and sustainability of the Brazil-nut value chain from Peru to Switzerland focusing on both social and ecological aspects of it. We have our home base at the technical University ETH Zurich. Our team has now an increasing number of investigators and collaborators, including local and international students, research assitants, coordinators and collaborations with NGOs, local governments and companies, as well as wtih scientists from well-known reseasrch institutes. We all take a piece of research work towards the development of the models and the answering of the different management aspects of them.
