Eduardo is the true pioneer of regenerative agriculture in Brazil. He is well known for his own scalable regenerative agriculture pilot project called Tropicália – a form of land management using intercropping to create a multi-tiered ecosystem.

In this specific system, banana trees provide shade and generate the organic matter necessary for the vegetative growth of most plants. Mahogany and macadamia provide shade for the coffee during the last stage of the system and also distribute the organic matter generated by the specific size of their branches and leaves.
