They took a course at CEPEAS in 2016, then consulted with Ernst Götsch and tried to design a system for coffee with trees. They have currently planted 30 hectares, which they started in 2017 on an old soybean area.

After this consultancy, they masterfully adopted syntropic farming and now have 480 hectares. They no longer have problems with banana diseases and no longer use herbicides.

He has transformed 340 hectares of degraded pasture into one of the most biodiverse forests ever created by humans in the Atlantic Rainforest. The photo of Ernst Götsch featured on the F4F website was taken for the book, Syntropic Farming according to Ernst Götsch.
