ABOUT THE PROJECT

This work emerges from the lived experience of the author, Fran Paula – a Black woman, quilombola (descendant of escaped slaves), and from the Pantanal region. The content shared here results from collective processes and territories, focusing on the study of ancestral Black and Indigenous science present in traditional Brazilian agriculture.
