About

We are located on 400 acres of land in the buffer zone between the urban sprawl of Rio de Janeiro and the last remaining protected area of the Atlantic Rainforest. We regenerate the soil and the forest through bio-fertilizers, organic compost, organic agriculture and agroforestry. We regenerate food systems by promoting the processing and consumption of healthy, regional, zero-waste food. We sell sustainable products to supply a growing conscious market. Our prototyped solutions also serve as learning-by-doing models for the local community, as well as other periphery regions around the world. We train locals - farmers, landowners, women, and young people - in the technical and entrepreneurial skills needed to apply our solutions in their own homes.
