Oro Verde book cover, securing the future of our food.

Gold or money has become the standard benchmark of success in our society. Ironically, the pursuit of this type of temporary wealth has often led to exploitation of humans, animals, plants and natural resources in general.

ORO VERDE explains how the mentality behind this value system has caused a global crisis that is much deeper than most of us are aware of.

ORO VERDE takes you on a journey of consciousness that is required to achieve an environmentally sound way of life.
