There has been lots of talk, in regenerative agriculture, about syntropic agroforestry. Many of you will have noticed that there is very little (written or video) English material available for those who would like a systematic description of the basic concepts and underlying principles of this method. Throughout the last year, I have been researching syntropic agriculture as an external observer, in order to understand this method - that is inspired by the observation of the indigenous populati
MINEIROS/GANDÚ, Brazil — Behind the wheel of his black suburban van, Paulo Borges has to squint to focus on the SUV motorcade in front of him, vanishing in a red cloud of dust. Borges, a landowner, is following other farmers to a workshop on the road near Mineiros in the midwest of Brazil, the grain-growing […]
Like many of us I saw the Life in Syntropy video a few years ago and was immediately intrigued. Syntropic farming looked like the type of agroforestry that I envisioned in my personal and professional work. I dug around for more information, but was slowed by the Portuguese language barrier an
I am being asked what is syntropic farming and whether we apply the syntropic farming methods to our permaculture gardening and designs, and also, what is the difference between Permaculture and syntropic agriculture? Is there any difference? Here are my "two cents" on this topic.
Most of the information available on Syntropic Agroforestry is in Portuguese. In late-2018 English language content slowly became more widely available. I'm attempting to collect all of the English…

There is no quick answer. We have to be honest and immediately warn that you won't find a recipe ready to copy and paste here. Syntropic Agriculture (also described as successional agroforestry) is not a technology package that can be purchased, nor a definitive design plan that fits all ta ...

I would respond that this obstacle is pedagogical, in fact, that was the answer that Joachim Milz gave me a few weeks a ...

Holistically managed grazing is a time and space dynamic, which ecology essentially is, but it is a savannah ecology essentially, it is grassland management. Syntropic Agriculture is essentially exactly the same thing but in a woodland ecology, when they combine, they create a strong woodland edge d

An ecological concept according to the interpretation of Ernst Götsch Natural succession is a concept generally associated with ecology and still receives little attention from agriculture. Although there is a consensus that agricultural practice is a form of applied ecology, the conceptual fram ...

One of the most destructive activities on the environment is agriculture. Unsustainable farming practices can lead to deforestation, soil degradation, wasteful water consumption, pollution, and erosion. But there is a rise in regenerative agriculture or farming which seeks to heal the natural systems on which we rely. Swiss farmer Ernst…
Swiss farmer Ernst Götsch has developed a variant of agroforestry called syntropic farming. So what is it - what's different about it - and can it be part of the regenerative agriculture movement?
