Deep in the Layers

Vale do Ribeira, Brazil

Sana Floresta is an organic agroforestry project in Vale do Ribeira, Brazil, within the Atlantic Forest, one of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems. Founded in 2018 on degraded pastureland, it has grown from 6 hectares to 20, hosting over 16 species of fruits and timber. Our scalable model promotes biodiversity, with at least 50% native species in each plantation. We cultivate organic bananas while expanding cacao and juçara production in our agroforests. Large-scale plantings create new wildlife habitats, aiding local ecosystem recovery. We also work with native stingless bees, vital pollinators threatened by pesticide use. Their presence supports biodiversity, healthy forests, and sustainable agriculture.

INFRASTRUCTURE
Legal Layer
The Legal Layer provides legitimacy and institutional stability for the development of ReGen Nodes, articulating partnerships with subnational governments and designing new regulatory frameworks such as the EEIRZs. These zones allow for the experimentation of innovative sustainable development policies, the attraction of green investment, participatory governance models, and the recognition of new community legal forms. By integrating the legal, ecological, and digital realms, this layer facilitates the transition toward more distributed, adaptive, and common-good-oriented governance, aligning local regeneration with next-generation public policies.

INFRASTRUCTURE
Digital Layer
The Network relies on a regenerative digital governance platform that enables each ReGen Node to coordinate, make decisions, and distribute resources transparently and efficiently. This modular, interoperable, and open-source architecture is based on sovereign digital identity, smart contracts, and decentralized governance 2.0 principles. It integrates ReFi (Web3 Regenerative Finance) tools to measure, verify, and finance ecosystem and community impacts, aligning collective intelligence with distributed automation. Thus, the Digital Layer acts as the Network's nervous system, promoting local autonomy and global coherence through accessible, traceable, and empathetic participation mechanisms.
