Who we are
The Instituto Anjos do Sertão (IAS), in a formal description, is a non-profit organization located in the city of Canto do Buriti, in the south of Piauí state, northeastern region of Brazil.
We were born from the desire to uncover the natural, social, and cultural richness of the Caatinga, a wise and fascinating biome. We want to show the world how to make a real impact investment model that can preserve this unique universe.
Beyond formalities, we are human beings in search of practices that integrate new approaches to connect and live on the planet, in order to cultivate, distribute, and consume food that honors the earth, people, and life.
Learn more about the Caatinga and our way of thinking.
It is through entrepreneurship and innovation that we engage in regenerative territorial development, giving voice to local communities through collective actions and encouraging the exchange of knowledge. Thereby, we create a space that enables the restoration of the Caatinga, with solutions emerging from collective thinking, always co-constructed with the collaboration of everyone from the territory.
What we believe in
To this end, all our actions are developed based on our essential tripod and our integrative system:

What we do
Regenerative Territorial Development
We develop and implement projects using regenerative production techniques to create a network of regenerative rural entrepreneurs in harmony with the specificities of the region, biome, and the people who inhabit it, empowering local communities.
Through the appreciation of traditional knowledge and the real empowerment of family farming, we co-create opportunities for income generation and employment for families in the Brazilian hinterland.
