Jorge's Moringa Questionnaire:

What is your Moringa Project?
I've been lucky and I have connected directly to be able to have a deep dive into the Moringa world. Reality super-passed my expectations hence besides freeze drying Moringa I've been blessed by having the opportunity of sharing knowledge about life, Permaculture, food and nature every year together with our Moringa team. Team that is growing and growing internationally.

When and where did your Moringa journey begin?
It began at my shop by receiving a call from a friend requesting me to wait until she got there with someone that was going to change my life. After waiting some minutes she arrived and introduced me to Mariko and Chris Gifford and after we talked non stop for at least an hour and a half. That is how Moringa got into my life.

What is your Moringa dream?
For people to leave their jobs and go back to growing their own food, reconnecting with nature and understanding that the only source of pure and unconditional love and abundance is life it self through nature.

Why did you step onto this path?
Because I love nature.

What keeps you on this path?
Health, well-being, pleasure, food, serotonin. Knowing that the only possibility to have a future as a specie is to reconnect to our planet and stop acting like extraterrestrials.

What do you want Moringa to know about you and your work?
That there are some of us humans that do care and respect nature and that it hurts us to see so much ignorance guiding our specie. I would like to get the power shown in the movie La Belle Vert and just be reconnecting people non stop.

What one question do you have for her?
Do you know what really happened to human kind. How come are we so stupid.
