Plantadores de Água

Mr. Newton Barboza Campos, a dedicated farmer and water conservation advocate, inherited the Sítio Jaqueira 35 years ago when the property was severely degraded. Determined to restore its vitality, he embarked on a transformative journey focused on revitalizing springs and reforesting riparian areas. Through years of effort and observation, he developed an innovative and intuitive methodology he calls "Water Planting," which emphasizes restoring natural water cycles by regenerating the landscape.

This approach not only rejuvenated the land but also became a guiding philosophy for the sustainable practices implemented at Sítio Jaqueira. By prioritizing the health of water sources and surrounding ecosystems, Mr. Campos has turned the farm into a thriving example of ecological regeneration and sustainable agriculture. His work inspires others to embrace nature-based solutions to restore degraded environments and ensure the resilience of vital resources like water.
