My role is to put all pieces together in order to deliver a reliable, fair and cost-effective carbon scheme capable of properly compensate land managers who have adopted regenerative practices on their farms at the same time that generates not only significative carbon benefits to help reverting climate change, but also a wider spectrum of positive impact in environmental and societal current challenges through the many co-benefits these practices can deliver.

Researcher on Zero Waste solutions: focus on Community Composting
-
Jul 2017 - Dec 2018
In charge of researching solutions on Zero Waste, focused on Community Composting, in collaboration with Permakultur Akademie and Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The research is a pioneer initiative on gathering in situ information about community composting around Europe. By visiting successful establishments working on community participation (waste management and organic food production), sufficient information has been collected for the setting up the first Berliner's Zoo Compost station. At the station, the chickens eat the food scraps that are still edible, the larvae of Black Soldier Fly digest the fat and the hard-to-decompose residues while the red worms happily eat the vegetable leftovers. Community composting is a powerful and cheap alternative to Municipal Waste Management and to help braking Climate Changes (local requires less or zero fuel consumption and store carbon in the soils) and to create the ways to combat the silent huge problem of Soil Fertility loss worldwide (plus, organic fertilizer can retain until 25% more the water in soils). Also, it is an easy and fast way to implement Zero Waste mentality and citizen participation programs: each station is an example of Environmental policy and education. All the fertilizer and by-products produced is going to be used to make cities greener, more resilient and healthier, requiring more job posts as well. Show less

Feb 2011 - Dec 2015
The Cadico Minhocas look for a balanced approach to long-term social, environmental and economic objectives, following the basic principles of sustainability. The environmental education program consist on empowering the local community through citizen participation and sharing the waste management responsibility. The worm composting bins will guarantee that between 20% and 50% of household waste will be treated locally, extending the landfills service life, reducing waste management charges and producing tones of organic fertilizer. The relevance of the Cadico Minhocas venture was recognized by different institutions and won several prizes as Young Environmental Ambassador (UNEP and Bayer), Green Project Award (Portuguese consultancy company) and YouthActionNet (International Youth Foundation).
