Viva a Mata – SOS Mata Atlântica

Red Bull Station, São Paulo, SP

“Another topic raised by the panelists was sustainable gastronomy. Jorge Ferreira grew up in the middle of the forest, did not attend formal school and was taught literacy by his mother at home. Today, he is a self-taught botanist dedicated to the study of native plants, fungi and their use in food.. In the middle of his presentation, the researcher showed the Juçara fruit, which looks similar to açaí and is threatened with extinction. “I have been in contact with nature all my life. A few years ago I realized the power of sharing information and started to work on exchanging experiences on sustainable agricultural production techniques,” he said. Ferreira shares this acquired knowledge on social media, in workshops and courses.”
