Over ons

With a transdisciplinary academic background, Dayana transits between the major areas of Communication and Life Sciences. Since 2009, she has been applying such skills to the theoretical study, practical experimentation, and the diffusion of Ernst Götsch’s Syntropic Farming. Dayana holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences and Conservation from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and wrote with collaborators important scientific papers on Syntropic Farming and agriculture innovation. In the practical experience, she managed the Syntropic Experimental Areas and Learning Center on São Sebastião Farm (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) between 2016 and 2018; applied syntropic principles in the implementation of four Public School Gardens in a Mediterranean context during 2019; and more recently, she is facing the challenge of recovering an olive grove in crisis using syntropic techniques, in southern Italy. In the communication field, Dayana has written texts and produced videos for Agenda Götsch and Life in Syntropy websites and social platforms. She also has worked as an Environmental consultant in wide-reaching TV Shows such as the telenovelas “Velho Chico” and “Pantanal”, in which she helped to bring up important ecological and farming-related issues to a broader audience. Together with Felipe Pasini, she is the author of the book "Life in Syntropy - Ernst Götsch's Syntropic Agriculture Explained" (Portuguese version scheduled to be released in the second half of 2022).
