Regenerative Agriculture
At Monte Silveira, the spirit of regenerative agriculture is at the heart of its existence.
At the heart of Monte Silveira’s regenerative journey is the integration of rotational grazing across its agroforestry landscape. Here, diverse livestock breeds graze the extensive pastures, establishing a dynamic relationship with the ecosystem. Grazing on fresh grass and acorns, these animals not only sustain themselves but also play a key role in nourishing the soil, increasing biodiversity and preserving the ecosystem.
Rotational grazing
Monte Silveira is a living example of the interconnection between agriculture and ecology.
By integrating livestock into the landscape, the farm mimics the natural grazing patterns of wild herds, thus revitalizing the soil, stimulating plant growth and recycling nutrients in a harmonious way. This holistic approach to animal husbandry not only increases soil fertility but also benefits the health and well-being of animals, promoting a mutually beneficial relationship between humans, livestock and ecosystems.
We are dedicated to carefully observing the conditions of the soil, pasture, animals and ecosystem.

Biodiversity
Monte Silveira Farm is a vibrant mosaic of biodiversity, nestled in the heart of nature’s richness.
The farm is a sanctuary for a variety of flora and fauna, fostering a harmonious ecosystem that supports both agricultural and wild species. The rich soil and varied landscape create an ideal environment for a variety of plants, from cultivated crops to native wildflowers. This botanical diversity, in turn, provides habitat and sustenance for countless animal species, including insects, birds and mammals. The farm’s commitment to regenerative practices enhances this natural wealth, ensuring that every species, from the smallest microorganism to the largest mammal, plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance. Through careful management, Monte Silveira Farm is a living example that shows the importance of biodiversity in fostering a resilient and thriving environment and ecosystem.
Projects
At Monte Silveira, several research, development and innovation projects underscore the farm’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in agriculture and ecosystems.
These projects focus on optimizing crop yields, improving soil health and integrating ecosystem-enhancing technologies. In this way, Monte Silveira Farm not only increases its productivity and sustainability, but also contributes valuable knowledge to the broader agricultural community, fostering advances that benefit both the local ecosystem and global food security.
