Luxor Methodology

Our mission is to create large-scale systems that produce quality food and restore ecosystem cycles, with financial return.

For this, we need to go beyond replacing inputs or sequestering carbon. It is necessary to see the farm as a whole, innovating in the creation of productive systems that improve soil health, increase biodiversity and restore the water cycle, guaranteeing quality of life for the people who live there.

“The secret of life is the soil, because plants, water, climate and our life depend on the soil. Everything is interconnected. There is no healthy human being if the soil is not healthy”

Ana Maria Primavesi

Our methodology

Regenerative Production Systems

LANDSCAPE

Restoration of APPs and planting of ecological corridors

PRODUCTIVE DESIGNS

Production systems that integrate tree, agriculture and livestock components.

COMMUNITY

We work so that our farms are home to people aligned with our purposes

MANAGEMENT

Management activities result in positive impacts on soil health, biodiversity and the water cycle

Agricultural Landscape

A restored agricultural landscape produces more and provides services to all of society

The Agricultural Landscape is the set of environments that make up a rural property. Some areas of the property are suitable for grain production, others are more suitable for livestock. 

Other areas do not have a productive aptitude, but an Ecological Function, as is the case of floodplains, or valley bottoms, which play important roles in the hydrological cycle. 

Other areas can serve as ecological corridors, allowing the flow of native animals and plants, reducing their isolation and ensuring their survival. 

The replanning of the property, allocating the areas based on their aptitudes and ecological functions is essential for sustainable agricultural production. A diverse and restored agricultural landscape creates a more favorable microclimate for crops, becomes more resilient, with greater ability to withstand extreme weather conditions such as droughts, torrential rains, excessive heat or cold events.

PRODUCTION DESIGNS - AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS

Diversity is nature's technology for ecosystem health

Inspired by nature, we build diversified production systems, where each species has a function, whether productive or ecological.

That is why we always seek to produce in Agroforestry Systems. Discover some of the benefits of these systems:

Management Practices

Healthy foods are those produced in living, healthy soils

To increase the life of the soil, it is necessary to create the conditions for this life to prosper, it is necessary to adapt the management practices with this objective. 

Some technologies and practices are well established and are adopted immediately. Others require testing and validation for each region and culture before being adopted at scale.

The search for more regenerative management practices is ongoing. Each year, practices are consolidated and new challenges are outlined. 

Good monitoring of results is a key part of this process.

Community

We want to create the best quality of life for the people who live on our farms.

Our employees live on the farms with their families, in individual houses. We need people aligned with our purposes to achieve our goals and for that the first step is to guarantee an increasingly better quality of life for our community.

impact monitoring

Environmental impact monitoring is essential to understand the regenerative potential of our systems, direct our interventions and monetize environmental services. To do so, we assess the effects of management on soil health, biodiversity, and the water cycle using scientifically robust metrics.

On the social side, we selected indicators that assess the quality of life of people who live on farms and also our ability to influence other farms and companies to build a more regenerative future.

This monitoring is continuous and the evolution of results is our main guide.
