Ana Maria Primavesi

Born on a large farm in an Austrian village in 1920,[1][2] Primavesi fell in love with nature, inspired by her father.

[2][4] While at school, she met fellow agronomy student Artur von Primavesi, who was of German origin who she married in 1946.

[6] In 1949, they migrated to Brazil because Primavesi, like many other people, was threatened with forced deportation by the Russians in Austria, which had become a very unstable country in the years immediately following World War II.

Now with the mechanical traction plow, you can reach 30 or 40 cm, put the dead part on top that is broken up by the rain, enters the ground and clogs the pores.

[2][7] After she retired from teaching, she and her husband moved to their own property in Itaí, located in the Brazilian state of São Paulo.

Under Primavesi's management, her land – which was badly eroded when bought – was rejuvenated with springs, forests and agricultural areas.
