Dr. Ana Maria Costa
The Passitec Network was created in 2008 by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) to establish a methodology that would strengthen and structure production chains aimed at the sustainable use of plants from Brazilian biodiversity that are still little known. The Passitec Network managed to generate the necessary technologies to structure supply chains to use native species of the genus Passiflora. Passitec's efforts were recognized by the Brazil Engineering Awards (2011), Celso Furtado Regional Development Awards (2017), and the highlight given by FAO (2019).
