How we collaborate
Nuno is using our Carbon+ Program to transition to regenerative agriculture and access an additional income stream along the way.
Through the program, he is getting paid to implement new practices that will bring him closer to his goals.
“I believe that the current generation is paying for the soil management mistakes of previous generations, as a medium to long term bet, we have to work with nature.”
