About us
Our story
Terranima, formerly known as Badolatopermaculture, was founded in early 2020.
Despite the challenges of those beginnings, the project soon started to flourish with the support of many volunteers.
We first focused on building essential infrastructure, including water cisterns, a volunteer camping area and a vegetable garden.
Soon, our energy shifted to creating a fully equipped composting area for producing high-quality solid and liquid compost.
We started to plant new trees, shrubs and nurtured the existing ones.
Today, Terranima produces a premium olive oil, having transformed our olive production from a chemical-mechanical approach to a fully biological and regenerative method of cultivation.
Guided by permaculture principles, the project embarked on a regenerative journey, fostering soil health, biodiversity, and community. We are committed to sharing our experience while inspiring and strengthening our local network.
Founders
Mario and Chris both left comfortable urban lives behind to reconnect with nature and create a lifestyle aligned with their values.
Their deep respect for nature and their desire to contribute to a healthier and better world inspired them to embark on this journey of regeneration, not only of the land and soil but also themselves.
Their boundless curiosity has led them to gain extensive knowledge and experience in regenerative agriculture, soil biology, high-quality compost production, and a range of entirely organic treatments to help animals, plants and trees. And to learn everything about producing nutrient-dense foods while enhancing their own health and wellbeing.
Connection and collaboration with local communities have helped them to build a solid foundation for fostering a thriving community themselves, which will eventually help awakening the full potential of this beautiful land.
Roberta is a construction engineer specialized in renewable energy, passionate about intercultural exchanges, and dedicated to living in harmony with nature. As a strong advocate for sustainable agriculture and soil regeneration, she brings her expertise and enthusiasm to projects aimed at supporting biodiversity and ecosystem health.
Roberta’s key contribution to the project will be in administration, translation, and building a strong local network with key stakeholders.
