Culturaverde means “Green Culture”, why greenculture?
We all know that nobody on this planet can survive without plants. Plants that can grow in their natural and oringinal environment. We do not need to feed the plants whose fruits we want and need with artificial nutrients. The plants that are useful to us are provided with sufficient helping substances by nature itself.
Let us have a look at the word agriculture: AGRI – land – CULTURA, a long long time ago when man started to be diferent from monkey, he started to work the land, that is when the culture of soil began. It was the beginning of culture!
Culture is not just language, literature, arts, etc. Culture also means working the land, agriculture – not as we hear today, Agrobusiness, with stock corporations squeezing the soil like a lemon and then still polluting our water with their artificial fertilizers, our water, the most important element on this green-blue planet.
We know, that for the protection of our environment and preservation of biodiversity, hotly discussed in the media today, while 10 to 40 years ago still laughed at or even judged as heratical thinking, only organic agriculture with its retrospective to a healthy planet give real results.
The real farmer today has major resonsibility for a healthy ecossystem. Here in Brazil, like in many other countries, nobody recognizes neither values the contribution of agriculture to the continuity of ecossystems essential to all living beings and created millions of years ago. Growth above all is more important. Conservation became a curse.
Thinking about the generations to come was exchanged for quick money on the stock exchange market.

Apart from that: Pupunha e Açaí Palms, Black Pepper, Citrus fruits, Coffee, Rubber , banana, Cupuaçu, Pine apples, Papaya, clove, Urucum, Guaraná, Mangostinho.
