OUR FARM

We use intelligent irrigation systems which automatically adjust to crop and weather conditions to minimize water use.

Solar power plays a big role in our water use as well. Although we are located in a semi-arid area, we are surrounded by abundant water sources from the São Francisco River and Rio Grande.

Solar-powered irrigation unlocks the potential of these water sources, giving us the freedom to plant where we want and transforming our land into a fertile area for growth.

For plots of land that are further from the rivers, we will explore the use of wells which require less power to operate compared to pumping over long distances.

We preserve the health of our soil, crops and the local environment by using organic and earth-friendly fertilizers with other precision farming methods.

Whenever possible, we use organic fertilizers, reusing biodegradable materials from our processes and nearby farms. Our natural fertilizers include coconut husks that provide moisture retention for our cacao plants and goat manure from local farms which provides a sustainable way to support the local community.

To supplement and improve the nutrients in the soil, we use earth-friendly fertilizers that are sustainable and cause less harm to the environment compared to traditional chemical fertilizers.

We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to protect our crops from pests.

This comprehensive, environmentally sensitive method is an innovative approach to managing pests while reducing environmental impacts and costs.

Rather than relying solely on chemical controls, IPM uses various methods to control pests including mechanical, cultural and biological techniques.

By using IPM, we also allow the plants to develop and maintain their own natural defenses, ultimately leading to healthier and more robust crops.
