Agroecology
Food and income generation with ecological balance and less separation between human activity and environment.

Environment
Water, territory and quality of life.
To me, the environment is the place in which we live. It can be a forest, a spring, farmland or a stone-built city. The common point is the responsibility to keep that space safe, healthy and capable of sustaining life.
01 / Water
Without water, nothing comes after.
Water resources are the environmental area I identify with most. Springs, streams, water quality, flow, riparian vegetation, recharge areas, erosion and sanitation belong to the same system and need to be observed together.
Conserving what is healthy and restoring what has been degraded are equally necessary. The result only makes sense when it also improves life for the people in the territory.
02 / City
The environment does not end where asphalt begins.
In cities, noise, visual, air and light pollution are environmental issues too. Urban landscape, sanitation, water and the way space is occupied directly affect quality of life.
This view keeps the environment from becoming a distant landscape. Countryside, forest, river and city are part of the same conversation.
03 / Applied technology
Measure better to decide better.
I especially enjoy situations where technology turns observation into useful information. In an academic project, for example, I developed a remote system for monitoring spring flow and maintaining data series over time.
The value was not the sensor itself, but what the data made possible to understand about water behavior and the restoration and reforestation decisions that came afterwards.
04 / Direction
Interests for the next cycles.
Agroforestry and syntropic farming
Living, diverse and productive systems where forest, food, soil and water work together.
Socio-environmental projects
Water, sanitation, small producers and family farming, with benefits people can actually feel where they live.
Ecological building
Low-impact solutions that bring housing, autonomy and responsible use of resources closer together.
