As a possible solution to reduce soil erosion caused by sugarcane monoculture and air pollution caused by sugarcane incineration, I developed a biofertilizer using a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium capable of precipitating calcium carbonate, alongside a second bacterium with bioremediating properties. Combined with sugarcane bagasse, the biofertilizer serves as a sustainable alternative to sugarcane waste incineration while simultaneously treating degraded soil.

I am currently collaborating with Honduran locals to implement this solution in support of local farmers.
