‘This land belonged to us’: Nestlé supply chain linked to disputed Indigenous territory

Investigation reveals cattle raised on Mky territory ended up in global supply chain including food giant

On one side of the fence, in dense forest, the Mky people grow their crops: cassava, pequi and cabriteiro fruit. On the other side, ranchers raise cattle on devastated land. That land is the Mky's, they say.

Xinuxi Mky, the village elder, says this region used to be a forest where different villages thrived. Only one now remains and the farms have cut into that land as well. This pasture, where the whites live, was also our village, but now they are raising cattle. The land belonged to us: Indigenous peoples."
