sofiarigalt.comMy mission
Through world travel, I discovered my passion for nature, and learned a great deal about ecology.
I understood that environmental awareness is key to modifying our consumption habits and that with our daily decisions we generate an impact on the environment.
I want to raise awareness about the use of natural resources, I want you to recognize your power as a conscious consumer to improve your health and the environment that surrounds us to change the realities of the production system of goods and services related to our food source.
We belong to nature, we are all connected to the flow of life. It is time to change, and shift from globalization to localization and support our communities.
Together we can build a new world, a better world where we work with nature instead of against her.
About me
I’m Sofia Irene Rigalt.
I am an Agronomist from the North of Argentina.
I studied Agriculture for six years and with my newfound knowledge, I traveled the world working in sustainable communities, conducting interviews, and doing research on methods of permaculture.
I taught agroclimatology at the University of Cordoba for three years, helping students understand the connection between natural elements and humans’ impact on them. I also did research in The National Institute of Agricultural Technology on mega thermal pastures in abiotic restrictions.
My passion is to use natural techniques in syntropic agriculture while implementing permaculture principles and deep ecology philosophy.
