by Indi Maverick JORGE CORA and Ana Elisa Pérez Quintero know the sound of a bomb They were washing vegetables on their nine-acre farm This is the U.S Navy’s method for cleaning its nuclear litter on the east coast of Vieques Island a municipality of Puerto Rico also known for its turquoise beaches and mortar shells are the aftereffects of using two-thirds of the island as a bombing range from 1945 to 2003 and dropping over 80 million pounds of explosives Open detonation can spread dangerous contaminants but despite this environmental and safety hazard the navy insists it is faster than the burn trays and closed-chamber blast boxes that the Congressional Research Service recommends “There’s a lot of work to do.” Their house is on the dusty mountaintop of Monte Carmelo Environmentalists first occupied the lot in the 1970s meant to rescue the land taken by the navy the neighborhood is also called Tierra de Valientes (Land of the Brave) by locals “I’ve had a machete in my hand since the age of seven,” said Cora walking about the finca (farm) in old Levi’s and a pink-and-blue bandana He inspected the bright green plantain trees growing splendidly on dry “A college counselor once urged me to become a lawyer because of my grades “It’s a wonderful profession because you live in abundance.” Monte Carmelo is also the headquarters for their Colectiva Agrícola Viequense farm cooperative a place for farmers and locals to learn about agroecology and other sustainable modes of cultivation Finca Conciencia is a member of Organización Boricuá de Agricultura Ecológica de Puerto Rico founded in 1989 by rural farmers concerned that their ancient farming techniques were disappearing It also organizes farmers to help one another The Organización Boricuá assembled Brigadas de Apoyo—recovery brigades—that planted new crops and rebuilt infrastructure on damaged farms The organization calls this the jibaro a jibaro bridge—jibaro means “small farmer”—and the farming model which Cora and Pérez Quintero deploy on Finca Conciencia is based on the campesino a campesino (farmer-to-farmer) movement that started in the 1970s in Guatemala and found its way to Mexico Their philosophy of agroecology emerged from Mesoamerica’s remote farming communities who had little support in solving issues like chronic land erosion The poor farmers had very limited access to education and funding Kaqchikel Maya farmers from the midwestern highlands of Guatemala and nonprofit World Neighbors devised a method for farmers to help one another and exchange ideas “Better one good idea in a hundred heads than a hundred ideas in one good head,” as World Neighbors’ Don Marcos Orozco once proclaimed The farmers were taught conservation and heavy labor techniques—contour ditches The movement gave birth to an autonomous cycle of farmer-led development where the land is protected and farmers have more independence The methods have reached all corners of the world On Finca Conciencia—one of the first farms in Vieques to practice agroecology—Cora and Pérez Quintero are sharing with other farmers the lessons they learned from the Maya and Taínos Their newly formed Colectiva Agrícola Viequense a Vieques-wide collective of farmers and educators is taking their knowledge of Vieques’s harsh They offer farming workshops in churches and collaborate with the composting school Isla Nena Composta and the land education nonprofit Juntas They teach children to transplant fruit trees in a nursery They show residents how to collect branches and to hydrate the dry soil using rain gardens Pérez Quintero shares knowledge about making healing salves from honey And the collaborations have also taught the Finca Conciencia farmers how to better work their own land grounded in land protection efforts that began in Vieques in the 1960s with activists striving to evict the navy and rescue the land from decades of massive water and soil contamination and now Cora and Pérez Quintero have turned to the next phase of liberation: freeing the island from the noxious and expensive foods that Viequenses have little choice but to eat “We want to eradicate this feeling of lack,” said Cora referring to the fear of not having enough to eat Eighty-five percent of Puerto Rico’s food is imported with fruits and vegetables often arriving half-dead After traveling thousands of miles by land and sea to reach Puerto Rico food is then transported fifty-seven miles by truck from San Juan and then by an unreliable ferry to Vieques What Viequenses are sold in the grocery store is old food Add to that a lack of medical care in Vieques (the only hospital on the island has been closed since Hurricane María) and it’s easy to see why locals are eager to become independent in food and health Just sixteen miles east of Puerto Rico’s mainland Vieques once thrived with family farms and sugar plantations it lost two-thirds of its land when the United States took it by eminent domain to create a bombing range for the navy Some say families were given twenty-four hours’ notice and thirty dollars before bulldozers demolished their homes Many Viequenses were moved to the neighboring island of St and Agent Orange for over half a century has been associated with incidences of illness that are much higher than in Puerto Rico proper including by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry have shown that cancer rates are much higher in Vieques than in Puerto Rico once called Vieques “probably one of the most highly contaminated sites in the world.” And without access to the nutritious food that people need to withstand illness and injury   when I moved to Vieques from San Juan to work in a hotel I was not aware of the severity of the contamination I ate fruits and vegetables from different areas of the island and swam in the waters closest to the military zone places thought to have high levels of deadly toxins my neighbor told me to stop eating the star fruit from the trees She said the navy had used veneno (poison) on Vieques I later learned that traces of contaminants were found by Puerto Rican scientists dull pain in my thyroid became my new normal “You have cancer.” Was local food the cause with few fresh vegetables and fruits at the supermarket He grew up in a small agroecological farm in rural Arroyo picking the best food from the ground or a tree He worked his family’s land and became a beekeeper until Hurricane Georges destroyed his hives in 1998 working as a farmer for a Russian landowner in Monte Carmelo The owner one day left for the United States and died born and raised in the college town of Río Piedras Losing her father to cancer made her think about the connection between food and health and this inspired her to become an ecologist She found her way to Vieques after visiting the island through the University of Puerto Rico she met Cora and decided to stay on his farm for a few months to share her knowledge of agroecology Cora and Pérez Quintero are betting on local farming to bring health to the island but the aftermath of the military exercises still lingers and today there are virtually no water sources The dry plots left in their stead are especially laborious to farm because they have to fight to survive here,” said Pérez Quintero but warrior foods are incredibly delicious and nutritious.” They say that on Vieques Finca Conciencia is known for its arugula and tomatoes desertlike soil thanks to the raised dirt beds Cora created to retain water chopping and wiping the sweat off her face we can aspire to free Puerto Rico as well.” The soil may still contain toxins—on the south side of Vieques Yet agroecology remains the farmers’ best weapon for battling the island’s food deficiency They make use of sustainable methods passed down from previous generations They recycle biomass to increase the availability and flow of nutrients; create microclimates using trees to control temperature and sunlight exposure; and apply ground-covering plants to reduce heat and moisture loss they believe in rescuing and implementing traditional farming methods from decades past “We listen to the land and work with what she gives us,” said Cora They cultivate a variety of fruits and vegetables in a plot which can disrupt natural ecosystems and degrade the soil They also believe that agroecology can heal toxic soil—a belief supported by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) which has stated that agroecology can reverse chemical and physical degradation by preventing water runoff; reducing the release of carbon dioxide as temperatures rise; helping soil retain nutrients; and improving natural pest resistance and fertility even noted that toxicity in Vieques could be reduced because “plants naturally remove heavy metals from soils” and “could be employed for the restoration of this and similarly contaminated sites.” The FAO also suggested that farmers spearhead these soil restoration efforts because they understand local conditions best Building on the knowledge they and other Vieques farmers have accrued through experience the Finca Conciencia farmers incorporate biological remediation into their work by farming on more areas of the island—not just on Finca Conciencia—and stimulating the soil with natural materials like compost which works to transform inorganic contaminants into lesser bioavailable forms “We have to keep farming sustainably until the land is cured and Viequenses have access to nutrient-dense foods,” said Pérez Quintero without action from those with power—proper cleanup and acknowledgment of the connection between environment and health—these local efforts to heal the land and achieve food sovereignty will always be limited It also means dispensing with the popular idea of Vieques as simply a tourist destination and the tourism industry as a necessary provider of jobs is the problem,” said Cora as we traversed their plot But some locals and government officials are opening the doors to investors potentially closing off some available land for farming gentrifying many culturally relevant neighborhoods “The best way to use the land in Vieques is by occupying it with something real and preserves from Finca Conciencia and other Vieques farms where earnings from their sales to urbanites who must otherwise buy packaged or wilted food They also keep using their farm as a school “Everybody should grow at least some of their food Cora and Pérez Quintero believe that teaching farming and working increasingly more land will make the farming life more popular—and raise the odds of establishing a reserva agrícola Maybe extreme weather will even help their cause When food and water stopped arriving to the port after Hurricane María Finca Conciencia’s structures were destroyed Cora and Pérez Quintero harvested what remained and gave it to local residents then planted what they could at the finca and built a small community garden at a local church especially after receiving government aid “in the form of canned spicy sausages,” said Pérez Quintero “That experience introduced Viequenses to real food and the value of farming.” She showed me what was left of their home—some parts still had no roofing “It seems like we are here for this imaginary paradise of beautiful beaches and piña coladas,” she said “This paradise is for others to enjoy while we lack something as basic as fresh food.” Postcards of Vieques don’t show the side that might’ve damaged my health They don’t show the bruising and depletion of the land They don’t portray the people who died from the navy’s toxic legacy or the shortage of important nutrition necessary to survive their illnesses I sailed to Vieques and drove to the jungle in Pilón There was no trace of the paradise promoted by tourism companies—only its ugly Some say the violent hurricane winds stirred old toxins hidden within the soil and interred in the depths of the sea They say now this is just more proof of the contamination: the veneno was agitated and released The dirty secret just can’t stay away hidden aquello es arúgula (that over there is arugula) y allá están los tomates (and over there are the tomatoes),” explained Cora as we explored the finca Pérez Quintero followed closely on his heels her short hair enveloped in a red paisley kerchief We reached a clearing where hundreds of leafy greens sprouted from the ground collecting foliage and tomatoes in a makeshift pouch of the yellow cotton tank top she wore and you need to know how to solve it,” he said the land won’t stop producing riches.” The wind blew from the east and las matas de plátano (the plantain trees) briefly danced Cora was ringed by a papaya tree to his right and Pérez Quintero placed the tomatoes and arugula on a cutting board “We can pursue energy sovereignty or political sovereignty we can aspire to free Puerto Rico as well,” she said a brave red sphere filled with warrior nutrients my body craved to fight for my health and some of the sweet tomato juice dripped down my shirt I ate the rest in a frenzy and asked for more This essay is an adapted excerpt from The World We Need: Stories and Lessons from America’s Unsung Environmental Movement (The New Press)   Organización Boricuá de

In the second story of ANBA’s special series on coffee, discover the farm that is a reference in the Cerrado Mineiro region. Production began in 2015 focused on sustainable practices. Today, the company exports green coffee and has its own specialty coffee brand, MonCerrado. São Paulo – In 2015, pharmacist Juliana Rezende Mello took charge of her family’s land, Fazenda Santa Bárbara, and began producing specialty coffees in the city of Monte Carmelo, in Brazil’s state of Minas Gerais’ Cerrado Mineiro region. Currently, with over 230,000 trees planted on 63 hectares, the farm sells green coffee abroad and launched its own specialty coffee roastery brand, MonCerrado, with three varieties: Natural (82 points), Vulcão [Volcanic] (83 points), and Fermented (85 points). Mello said she didn’t know much about farming and started learning about coffee and the Cerrado biome. With a mind on the best processes regarding sustainability and family succession, in addition to flavor, she was concerned, from the beginning, with delivering a quality product with good practices, taking into account the farm’s ecosystem, water springs, and fauna such as armadillo, jaguar, pampas deer, with an eye on regenerative agriculture. Today, the coffee grower is one of the most prominent representatives of the Cerrado Mineiro region. The farmer received a group of journalists last week, to whom she told about the specialty coffee production process and the farm’s projects focused on regenerative agriculture. She also showed the recovered springs and the area with native bee hives, which have over 30 families of stinging and 17 stingless bees. Both projects received support from the Brazilian National Rural Learning Service (SENAR). “I want my grandchildren to come and drink water from the spring,” said Mello, who has two children, a teenager and a toddler. With the circular economy in mind, the coffee straw, which contains potassium, is used as a biofertilizer mixed with animal manure, rich in nutrients. The spaces between the coffee plantations receive a mix of cover crops that also act as bio-inputs, reducing the use of chemical fertilizers by 30%, keeping pests under control, and improving the microbiota of the coffee terroir. The farm has photovoltaic panels to capture solar energy and a six-meter-deep water pocket that stores rainwater for drip irrigation, which accounts for 70% of the water used on the farm. In farming, coffee feels the effects of climate change with a drop in productivity per hectare. Last year, with the drought, production output reached only 50% of the expected amount. “Drought severely affects agricultural production. With extreme weather events, damage is certain. There is no production more affected by climate effects than agriculture,” said Sueme Mori, director of International Relations of the Brazilian Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock (CNA). Fazenda Santa Bárbara has certifications for management, social, agricultural, and environmental practices and has a laboratory to guarantee and control the quality of its coffee. The farm also adopts biodefensive products and works with social and environmental sustainability projects, among other initiatives. “The less interference in farming, the more quality and complexity in the cup. It’s a win-win relationship. The farmers win for themselves, for the community, and for agricultural production,” said Mello about sustainable practices. In addition to the farm, the delegation also learned about the work of the Monte Carmelo Cerrado Coffee Growers Cooperative (MonteCCer) and its process of grading the beans and storing them from arrival to distributing the coffee to the members. Fazenda Santa Bárbara is a cooperative member. The superintendent director of MonteCCer, Regis Salles, informed that in addition to the 192 cooperative members, other customers store their coffee in the cooperative’s warehouse. “This is an extension of the cooperative members’ farm,” said Salles. MonteCCer has warehouses, a q-grading laboratory, a certification area for good practices, technical assistance, a quality laboratory, and a coffee sales network, among other services. Green coffee from Fazenda Santa Bárbara has already been exported to Singapore, other Asian countries, Norway, and other European destinations. The specialty coffee brand MonCerrado is an Agro.BR project member. CNA developed the project in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil). The idea is to encourage the export of roasted coffee with higher added value. The initiative aims to expand Brazilian exports by encouraging small and medium-sized producers to close deals with other countries. The program includes awareness raising, training, support in export plans, customized consultancy, participation in B2Bs, and support from international offices, among other services. Cerrado Mineiro was the first coffee region in Brazil to obtain a Geographical Indication (GI) seal, which attests to quality and adds value to products. The region has over 4,500 coffee farmers who produce, on average, 35 bags per hectare. This volume corresponds to 20% of the state’s total, and around 70% of the bags are exported. For the 2023/24 harvest, coffee production in Cerrado Mineiro is expected to reach 6.9 million bags, 13% of total Brazilian production. The average output in recent years was six million bags in an area of 234,000 hectares. The region has altitudes of 800 meters to 1,300 meters, with a flat topography, a hot climate in the summer, and a dry climate in the winter, favoring the production of specialty coffee. Minas Gerais is Brazil’s leading coffee-producing state, producing 99% Arabica species. Minas Gerais’ production represents around 52% of the coffee produced in Brazil, based on the 2023 harvest. From January to August this year, coffee accounted for 36% of the state’s agribusiness foreign sales. In that period, 12.8 million bags were shipped to 87 countries, mainly the United States, Germany, Italy, and Japan. The ANBA reporter traveled to the region at the invitation of CNA. The Gulf country has deposited its instrument of acceptance of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, which is aimed at curbing harmful subsidies that contribute to overfishing and promoting the sustainable management of global marine resources. The Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA) is the news website of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, out of São Paulo, Brazil. Its goal is to promote communication between Brazilians and Arabs. Recovery of artwork, artists and documents expands our understanding of São Paulo’s expression of this style LÉO RAMOS CHAVES Igreja do Carmo, in São Paulo: painting by Jesuíno do Monte Carmelo in the nave …LÉO RAMOS CHAVES LÉO RAMOS CHAVES …and the Crucified Christ both from the 18th centuryLÉO RAMOS CHAVES Artist and art historian Percival Tirapeli author of 20 books on Brazilian art and coordinator of the Unesp art research group looks up at the ceiling of the Igreja do Carmo and says: “We spent four years using a scalpel to remove recent layers of paint.” Behind the altar stands the 1746 wood sculpture of unknown authorship entitled Senhor morto [Dead Lord] and which Tirapelo considers “one of the most beautiful sculptures in São Paulo baroque art.” Nearly 30 kilometers (km) away from the city center at the Capela de São Miguel Arcanjo [Saint Michael the Archangel Chapel] the group found a rare perspective painting of the altar that had been hidden for decades by another wooden altar Unexpected works of art also emerged at the mother church of Nossa Senhora da Candelária [Our lady of Candelária] in the city of Itu the largest baroque church in the state of São Paulo It was built in 1780 and has been undergoing restoration since 2001 Upon the recommendation of musician Luís Roberto de Francisco a researcher at the city’s Museum of Music the restoration teams salvaged six planks of wood depicting one of the scenes of the Christ’s passion they probably held the original ceiling paintings of the church that had been used to protect a clock tower They were done by Jesuíno do Monte Carmelo—and no one knew about them the restoration teams found paintings in blue on the walls of the chancel of the mother church in Itu and a signature that this time revealed unknown artist Mathias Teixeira da Silva conducted by Iphan historian Carlos Gutierrez Cerqueira has led to the identification of sculptor Bartolomeu Teixeira Guimarães (1738-?) as the artist behind the monumental altar Emerging as well were signs of collaboration between Guimarães and José Patrício da Silva Manso (1753-1801) the artist of the painting on the ceiling and teacher of Jesuíno do Monte Carmelo pointing to connections between the artists and their works Jesuíno do Monte Carmelo did paintings found in three other churches in Itu: Igreja do Carmo Nossa Senhora do Patrocínio [Our Lady of Patronage] and Igreja do Bom Jesus [Church of the Good Shepherd] léo ramos chaves At the church of the Ordem Terceira de São Francisco the 1792 altar returned to its original glory after restorationléo ramos chaves architect Rafael Schunk recovered two little-known artists: the Portuguese priest Agostinho da Piedade (1580-1661) and his student Agostinho de Jesus (1600-1661) who lived and worked in the Paraíba Valley Schunk considers Agostinho de Jesus “the first Brazilian artist.” It was after him that came the other Brazilian baroque artists: Antônio Francisco Lisboa (1738-1814)—aka Aleijadinho—and Manuel da Costa Ataíde (1762-1830) and Valentim da Fonseca e Silva (1745-1813) Art historian Maria José Passos, a professor at Cruzeiro do Sul University (Unicsul), identified more baroque works than she expected to find as she visited 79 churches in 47 cities throughout the state of São Paulo as part of her doctoral studies, completed at Unesp in 2015 (see map) Some 10 religious sculptures at least 200 years old had been stored with no identification in closets “Most of the pieces are not properly catalogued,” she noted Passos became intrigued every time she saw sculptures with glass eyes that were unlike others in the collections although they were still considered baroque Unesp researcher and restorer Cristiana Cavaterra provided the answer: many of these works had been done by Italian artist Marino Del Favero (1864-1943) Favero moved to Brazil at age 28 and opened a studio for sacred sculpture and altars in São Paulo’s city center listed them for sale in catalogues and took orders from São Paulo pushing a portion of baroque into the early 20th century Art historians claim that baroque art formally ended with The Last Supper painted by

century on baroque art differed markedly from the urban landscape in the eyes of artist Emanoel Araújo director of São Paulo’s Afro-Brazil Museum: “There is a spartan side to São Paulo.” As director of the Pinacoteca of the state of São Paulo from1992 to 2002 he promoted exhibitions that expanded the visibility of Brazilian baroque art Araújo curated the exhibit O universo mágico do barroco

“Much was lost while São Paulo baroque was less valued,” says art historian Mozart Costa a professor of artistic restoration at the Pontifical Catholic University (PUC-SP) and the City University of São Paulo had read reports about 45 rural São Paulo chapels from the 17th century and went looking for them “The time has come to invest as heavily in the restoration of works of art as Iphan has been investing in restoring the architecture of the churches for 80 years,” he says Although there is renewed interest in São Paulo baroque On the walls of one corridor of the church of the Ordem Terceira do Carmo are 19 paintings by Jesuíno do Monte Carmelo that are nearly covered by black residue It would cost nearly R$50,000 each to restore them and since there is no money Project Authors of
