Piscean, was born on March 18th, 1989, in São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil, son of Damaira Gonçalves and Antonio Augusto Paçó. He began his undergraduate studies in agronomic engineering in 2008 at the Federal University of São Carlos (Brazil). During this time, he became aware that conventional agriculture is not the sustainable path we want for future generations. He was interested in agroecology and biodynamic agriculture, considering them as the best humanized alternatives to produce food. In March 2014, he started his master's degree in organic agriculture at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro and Embrapa Agrobiology, in Seropédica, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). In March 2016, he presented his dissertation entitled: "Spatial arrangements of green manures mixture before organic bean cropping". Ten days after the presentation, he moved to Germany to begin his studies in biodynamic agriculture and anthroposophy at Dottenfelderhof agricultural school in Bad Vilbel, Hessen.
