Edimar Miranda didn't start growing pesticide-free coffee because of market trends. He started because he saw the land exhausted, costs rising, and quality declining. 15 years ago, when everyone around still depended on chemical pesticides, Edimar made a decision many called risky: trust nature. No synthetic fertilizers. No herbicides. Just conscious management, careful observation, and respect for natural cycles. The first years were difficult. Productivity dropped. Neighbors doubted. But Edimar persisted. And gradually, the land responded. Plants grew stronger.
