Fazenda Bananal - Paraty, RJ

The Programa Cultivar aims to address fundamental interests and needs, encompassing three crucial spheres for its sustainability: the social, economic, and environmental dimensions. Its proposal seeks to facilitate the conscious and abundant use of natural resources provided by the palm tree, promoting not only the consumption of its food but also generating economic and social benefits for the development of local traditional communities. This integrated approach aims not only to meet immediate needs but also to ensure a balanced and sustainable relationship between human activities and the ecosystem.

The Fazenda Bananal , which hosts the Programa Cultivar, is a property that blends history, ecology, and gastronomy. We lived the experience and immersion in nature, getting to know the fauna, flora, and natural and sustainable resources, providing a context for the maintenance and existence of a healthy ecosystem. We walked through the incredible 180 hectares of this property, delving into the richness of the preserved Atlantic Forest, capturing every detail. The meticulous restoration, based on historical and architectural research, comes to life through the lens, transporting the viewer to the 17th century.
