Fabienne d'Ortoli (double world kite champion) and Yvan Quilfen, two of the riders brand Envao Green and Fair Trade Surfwear team are currently in trip to Brazil to discover the history of products brand.
The flight from Paris to Rio was the opportunity for Ivan to do his first flight and he loved the earth from the sky!

After a night in Rio with a tropical storm, the team flew to the Northeast of the country. After two sessions of kite on the idyllic coastline of the north (one offshore and one in a lagoon contained in the dunes), Yvan and Fabienne took the road to the interior of the country where they encountered producers of organic cotton for Envao. A short course of agroecology has been given them in the middle of cotton fields. They discovered the natural techniques of producers of Envao. Among them, no chemical pesticides harmful to human health and the environment, but recipes using morning urine of cows and maggots!

The passage of the riders in the community has attracted the interest of all and the team responded to an interview for local radio.
