Where Regeneration Takes Root
Fazenda ALUME is a 42-hectare living laboratory in Aderno, Aritaguá, Ilhéus, where ecological restoration, regenerative agriculture, science, education, and community come together.
Once dominated by rubber monoculture, the land is being transformed into a diverse and resilient landscape through at least 30 years of continuous stewardship.
