Nuno Moutinho is an environmentalist and craftsman, specializing in the production of brooms made from millet straw, with a strong connection to the land and rural traditions. In 1980 he participated in the first craft fair at the Ferreira Borges Market, beginning a self-taught career as an environmentalist, farmer, speaker, mediator, and teacher. Since 2001 he has worked independently, guided by pleasure and a direct relationship with his work and the land. His practice is based on observation and experience of the city of Porto, exploring the relationships between the urban and rural environments. In 2006 he published the book *Uma Herança Natural* (A Natural Heritage) and, in 2020, co-founded the association “A Soalheira – Associação Social de Cultura Ambiental” (A Soalheira – Social Association of Environmental Culture). He actively participates in community and cultural projects related to sustainability, agriculture, and the solidarity economy, notably at Quinta da Noeda and in Campanhã.

He dedicates himself to seed cultivation and the preservation of traditional practices, promoting initiatives such as the Soenga (a traditional Portuguese harvest festival), the grape harvest, and the singing of New Year's songs.
