My family has been involved in agriculture for generations. Since the Dutch colonizers arrived in Brazil after WWII, in the 1950s, producing food has motivated each and every family who arrived in this vast, still unexplored country (at the time). My path was different. As I moved out to study, I decided to follow my love for technology and new ideas and became an Electrical Engineer. My engineering mind makes me constantly rethink how processes could work more efficiently. Being raised inside agriculture, I also have farming in my soul. My father is an agronomist and dedicated most of his life to research; I love to hear of new ideas that come to solve everyday problems. In summary, my appreciation for both topics has led me to work with high-tech products specifically developed for agriculture, which allow farmers to be more productive, basing their decisions on real data from their fields. Thinking about how we can be more efficient, innovative, break old paradigms and create a new future has led me to become interested in a fresh topic - Vertical Farming.
