Syntropic Agriculture aims to produce food, timber and fibre through a process based agriculture with minimal external inputs and without chemical fertilisers and pesticides. The aim is to build resources such as water, topsoil and biodiversity as we produce our food. Syntropic Agriculture has been proving to be financially viable and effective in many climates and biomes. Participants will learn: The history and principles of successional/syntropic agroforestry, How to implement and manage those systems, How to choose where to implement these systems in their properties, How to harmonise these systems with nature's patterns (sun, winds, topography, local flora, etc.), How to choose appropriate plant consortiums to each stage and soil condition of the system, How to choose and plan the production of value adding produce. Introduction of the Agroforestry Principles: Theoretical lecture of the essential concepts of implementation and management of an Syntropic Agroforestry production system.https://www.soilsunsoul.net/intro-to-syntropic-agroforestry-march-2019… Other teachers Felipe Amato (Brasil) and Steven We (France) Course type Forest Gardening Course is face to face Course contact email [email protected] Contact name Roman Share this course Copied to clipboard
