The son of farmers, agroforestry and self-taught botanist, he is an enthusiast and profound researcher of Brazilian biodiversity. He learned from an early age to live in communion with the forest and in his walk he realized the importance of knowledge for preservation. He is dedicated to the dissemination of Brazilian ingredients and cultural recovery, sharing his learnings and ideologies through his work as a consultant and facilitator of experiences.

Jorge Ferreira, friend and work partner, is one of those people who had the privilege of being educated by nature and by fraternal values ​​passed on by his family. One of the most important ecological principles for me is collaboration and interdependence and, in the thread of this coherence, with an incredible repertoire on the subtleties and grandeur of the forest, Jorge is always generous in sharing his learnings.
