  • Patrick Assumpção is implementing agroforestry systems in the Paraíba Valley, Brazil, to reverse centuries of soil degradation caused by unsustainable agriculture. By combining native hardwoods like guanandi with food crops and unconventional food plants (PANCs), he aims to restore 40,000 hectares of land. Supported by a 2018 study using the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM), the initiative suggests that full restoration could increase the region's agricultural GDP by 32% and reduce soil erosion by 19%. To ensure economic viability, Assumpção is developing markets for these sustainable products by partnering with chefs and processing perishable native fruits into value-added goods.
