Our mission was birth from a trigger. Sometime in 2017, we were drawn to the sad news of an intermittent collapse of valuable food factories. So we pulled the trigger and embarked on a quest to understand what elements were at play. As initial researchers and tourists, we landed in sugarcane and non-sugarcane farming communities on the premise that an increase in raw material supply could reliably feed the factories into stable operation. However, in our moment of epiphany, restoring the degrading soils and ecosystems plaguing the rural farming communities will bring our mission full circle.
      Our discovery: creating true systemic change within the agri-food chain is predicated on the circularity and good combination of the elements of Soil, Farmer and Community. Having a better understanding of their interconnectedness produces more relevant and robust solutions to feeding the world and enabling more farmers cross over into commercial farming and growing income.
