Hortee’s priority is to promote #sustainability. To contribute to a #greener and more sustainable future, we are committed to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs). Here's how we aim to make a difference: Goal 2: Zero Hunger; Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth; Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities; Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production; Goal 13: Climate Action; Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals. By #working together, we can create lasting change. Let's build a better world.✊

🚀 And it's done! Another #WebSummit and this time in my beloved Rio de Janeiro! 🔆 Vibrant by nature and home to the country's creative economy, the meeting of the biggest technology event and the city-synthesis of Brazil exceeded my expectations. 🔗 For Hortee, valuable moments of exchanging experiences, identifying risks and opportunities, contacts for life. As we say in Rio de Janeiro, Hortee arrived "de boa" - softly, if I can translate it :D - but with the certainty that it has something to add to the already thriving Brazilian foodtech ecosystem.

🇬🇧: It's only an ocean away. 🎉 Brazil, we are on our way... #WebSummitRio starts today, and surprise surprise, if you are at WebSummit Rio, be sure to stop by Hortee's booth A625 on the 18th. 🤝 And to connect with Michel, because he is our local, representing the company and looking at our plans on the other side of the Atlantic. And now that I've caught your attention with my poor-quality photo editing (saved by the great model), let me point out some facts: 🍊 #Brazil is the 4th largest #food producer in the world. 🍍 In 2023, #agriculture accounted for 5.4% of Brazil's GDP, while Portugal's was only 1.7%. (at $1.9T vs. $240.7B GDP) 🏙️ Rio and São Paulo alone have 3.5 times the population of all of #Portugal. 👩💻 And from the beginning, Hortee's #team has been, at least, 50% Brazilian. 🌎 For a company that links fresh food production to consumption and wants to make an #impact, we have to start looking at the map from the top... at the #world. And while I can't tell you how or when, statistics can tell you why: It only makes sense to put Brazil on Hortee's radar. 🔥 Only time will tell, but in the meantime, Web Summit Rio, here we go. --- 🇧🇷🇵🇹: É apenas um oceano de distância. 📣 Brasil, estamos a caminho... O Web Summit Rio começa hoje e, surpresa das surpresas, se estiveres no WebSummit Rio, não deixes de passar pelo stand da Hortee, A625 no dia 18. E conecta-te com o Michel, o carioca no local, representando a empresa e abordando os nossos planos futuros para saltar o Atlântico. E agora que já chamei a atenção com a minha edição fotográfica de má qualidade (salva pelo grande modelo), deixem-me salientar alguns factos: 🍊 O Brasil é o quarto maior produtor de alimentos do mundo. 🍍 Em 2023, a agricultura representou 5,4% do PIB do Brasil, enquanto a de Portugal foi de apenas 1,7%. (com $1.9T vs. $240.7B PIB) 🏙️ Só o Rio e São Paulo têm 3,5 vezes a população de todo o Portugal. 👩💻 E desde o início, a equipa da Hortee tem sido, pelo menos, 50% de origem brasileira. 🌎 Para uma empresa que liga a produção e consumo alimentar e que quer ter impacto, temos de começar a olhar para o mapa de cima... para o mundo. E embora eu não possa dizer como ou quando, as estatísticas podem dizer porquê: Só faz sentido colocar o Brasil no radar da Hortee. Só o tempo dirá, mas entretanto, Web Summit Rio, aqui vamos nós, aqui vai a nossa #startup

Welcome to the vibrant season of spring in Portugal! 🌱 With the spring equinox gracing us at 03:06 AM today, we are excited to welcome a bounty of fresh produce. 🍒From the sweet burst of flavor in cherries and strawberries to the zesty tang of lemons, and from the crispness of radishes to the tender stalks of asparagus and nutrient-packed broccoli, spring's harvest is a feast for the senses. These seasonal delights not only add freshness to our plates but also bring a wealth of health benefits. 🍓Let's embrace the season's offerings and get creative in the kitchen! 🍋🥦 #SpringEquinox #SeasonalProduce #FreshStart #HealthyLiving

Two weeks ago I had the honor to be a moderator and speaker at FoodHack Lisbon, focusing on the critical theme: 🌟 From Farm to Fork - How to Build a Holistic Food System. In the weeks leading up to the event, Nuno and Pedro challenged me: to curate a panel of experts and steer a debate on a topic that has consumed my passion and work for the past 3+ years. To say I was thrilled would be an understatement. 🚀 To cut a long story short, the event was nothing short of spectacular. The chosen venue, Praça Beato, is not only beautiful but also embodies the #farm-to-#fork mantra that began with the goal of connecting producers with consumers in Lisbon. I had the privilege of initiating the dialogue, demystifying the farm-to-fork concept, its contemporary relevance, and its evolution. Amazing back-to-back presentations followed this: 🌱 Celso shared how farmers manage short and long supply chains - the good, the bad, and the occasionally ugly. 🥩 Ana Geraldo gave a thought-provoking presentation on how the largest meat producer in Portugal is dealing with farm-to-fork and sustainability issues; 🛒 And Ondina from Clube de Produtores Continente showing the importance and impact of retail initiatives, especially on a large scale, for a better supply chain. Of course, we met amazing people, some of whom came from each corner of Portugal to be at the event and talk to us. It was mega heartwarming. ❤️ In appreciation, together with Michel, Cláudio, and António, we distributed mini-baskets packed with vitamin C, filled with kiwis and 🍋 lemons from Hortee’s local and #sustainable producers, to prepare everyone for the winter-spring transition. New connections, great conversations with old friends, amazing food tastings, and, as a good surprise, this time there was even a local brewery, Xarlie, to make the evening and the end of the event even more... tasty 😄. I cannot emphasize enough: If you can attend one of the FoodHack chapters where you are, PLEASE do so. It has the right vibe, the right size, and the right motto. 🌍 #Food #systems are being transformed from the farm to cuisines, but also here, where the spark of innovation comes from a simple "Hey, I want you to meet this person". Building a better tomorrow is all about good people with good intentions, executed thoroughly, and the Foodhack events are a great Ship of entrepreneurShip. #FarmToFork #SustainableFoodSystems #AgricultureInnovation #LocalProducers #FoodEntrepreneurship
