Ecosystem

Revolving around RioSierra are Ecotierra Project Management and Ecotierra Capital and ElevaFinca, these are entities playing pivotal roles in achieving shared objectives.

Ecotierra Project Management, the project developer and operator, transforms these investments into action on the ground. With nearly 15 years of experience, Ecotierra works alongside farmers and cooperatives to implement sustainable agroforestry systems that improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and strengthen farm productivity.

Ecotierra Capital, the dedicated asset management platform within the Ecotierra ecosystem, is responsible for mobilizing capital toward regenerative, high-impact projects. Building on the success of the Urapi Sustainable Land Use Fund, Ecotierra Capital now manages Urapi and pursues complementary investment strategies that align financial returns with environmental and social value.

ElevaFinca represents commodities produced by the alliance of cooperatives participating in agroforestry projects launched and financed by Urapi.
