About

Helping clients achieve their goals in the ever-evolving digital but also, on site, sustainable and agronomical new landscapes.

Welcome to Arvensis where you will find top-notch services to agribusinesses and small to medium-sized companies seeking to improve their production processes, their content marketing and storytelling, and overall business presentation to prospective buyers.

My name is Íris Mota, and I'm Biologist with a Ms in Chemistry of Plant Natural Products with courses in Business, Consulting, B2B Marketing and Storytelling, Agroecology and professional experience in Regenerative Agriculture, with three scientific articles published.

Providing clients with the highest level of expertise and support, Arvensis main goal is to help businesses improve their methods (cultivation and/or transformation) and/or create compelling and authentic stories that resonate with their target market.

Arvensis Consulting Services does this by leveraging expertise in agronomy (mainly in regenerative agriculture), plant chemistry and marketing.

Every company is unique, and I’ll take the time to understand your specific needs and goals before developing customized solutions that fit your business model.

Personally, I am passionate about plants production and transformation processes, content marketing for B2B purposes, and sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices and monitoring.

I have worked with clients ranging from medium to large scale companies (in Portugal, Spain, Peru, Italy, Angola and Germany).

I work independently through Arvensis and as part of the team at ProFound — Advisers in Development, a Netherlands-based consultancy with over 30 years of experience in natural ingredients value chain development.

Arvensis focuses on practical, targeted consulting — small technical reports, regulatory summaries and B2B materials for natural product producers who need clear, actionable answers quickly.

For projects requiring deeper analysis, multi-specialist expertise, or full value chain reports, I bring in the ProFound team.

I am confident in my ability to support your business needs.
