Aliança da Terra (AT), or the Land Alliance, is a Brazilian non-governmental organization that connects farmers, researchers, environmentalists and entrepreneurs in the agribusiness industry to promote environmental awareness and land management practices in the Amazon region.[1][2] Alianca da Terra was formed in 2004 by John Cain Carter, an American rancher and pilot based in Mato Grosso, Brazil.[3][4]
