OUR SOLUTIONS
THE 5 AREAS OF TRANSFORMATION
Regenerative Productions
The Anjos do Sertão Farm-School functions as a space for practical experimentation in regenerative agri-food production.
Their production sustains the Institute's business model, nourishing teams and projects. We work with cashew farming, beekeeping, meliponiculture (stingless beekeeping), vegetable gardens, and agroforestry systems, all with regenerative management and a focus on producing healthy food. From these production chains and our processing industries, we develop Anjos do Sertão food products, which generate essential revenue for the financial sustainability of our impact in the region.
