Organic Hopes for 2007

To start 2007 on a good basis, Veja organized a 2-day seminar joining organic cotton producers from the two different regions of Brazil we are working with.

Ph D. Pedro Jorge Lima, the first Brazilian agronomist to introduce organic cotton in North East Brazil back in the 90’s, visited with us a new organic initiative we are supporting in the Parana State (Southern Brazil).

Together with a producer who has a 3-year experience of organic farming, they shared their knowledge, their doubts, and their hopes with new comers in the field.



There were many agronomy debates (that were getting too technical sometimes for us I have to admit ). Many problems were raised. Many solutions were shared (mainly to control plagues using natural products). Some good meet was eaten. Some new interstate friendships made.

And in the end, everyone was proud to be an actor of a future major trend in agriculture, to be the first small players in a country dominated by agro-giants. To be the future pain in the neck of global chemicals companies.

What to say?
Another way to think modernity. And the ground for a healthier, more durable world.
