Nestled in the majestic Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, also known as the "Heart of the World," a timeless connection flourishes between the land and its people. This sacred region is home to four indigenous tribes—the Kogi, Arhuaco, Wiwa, and Kankuamo—who have long served as guardians of these peaks, cherishing a profound respect for Mother Earth, or "Aluna."
Inchi Vital, an integral part of the GAIA CC group, was born from this rich tapestry of culture and nature. Our mission is to provide nature-based solutions led by permaculture practices that honor the earth and empower communities. Through our Sacha Inchi products—oils, powders, and snacks—we embody the vibrant energy and ancestral wisdom of the Sierra, cultivating with love and respect.
Our Sacha Inchi is organically grown by a harmonious collaboration of indigenous tribes and local campesino farmers. Empowered by GAIA CC's commitment to regenerative farming, these farmers transform their lands into thriving agroforestry systems. This approach not only yields the nutrient-rich Sacha Inchi but enhances biodiversity, restores degraded soils, and helps sequester carbon, playing a vital role in combating global warming.
Beyond cultivation, Inchi Vital offers an alternative to illicit crop production, fostering economic growth that aligns with tradition and sustainability. By choosing to grow Sacha Inchi, farmers receive fair compensation, elevating their communities from poverty while actively participating in land restoration and wildlife protection efforts.
Through permaculture principles, farmers are trained in water management, improving resilience against flooding and drought, and cultivating an ecosystem that encourages wildlife and regenerates the soil's health. Each action reflects the indigenous tribes' stories, embodying their role as stewards of the sacred land.
Inchi Vital represents more than a brand; it is a movement toward harmony with nature, empowerment for people, and vitality for our planet. As part of the GAIA CC group, we guide this mission with solutions that the earth herself inspires.
Join us on a journey of nourishment and transformation, where each purchase not only fuels your body but supports the guardians of the Heart of the World and their dedication to preserving life's sacred balance.
