Isabel Castanheira first studied Philosophy in Beaux Lettres College, and taught it in high-schools for many years. Then spent some time in publicity and advertising business and being part of that frantic world was probably one of the reasons that made her change her life to a simpler one in such a definitive way.
Twenty five years ago she started learning about organic agriculture with David Rilhas, one of the first organic farmers in Portugal. Since then, working towards a more sustainable life for the people and for the planet has been her main goal.
Besides being a member of the board of directors and the founder of Quinta dos 7 Nomes ecological cooperative, Isabel is also a teacher for Organic Agriculture Courses.
With 25 years of experience as an organic producer.
