Learn Syntropic Agroforestry at home and grow the food that Money Can't Buy.

An agroforestry organism is a reflection of its
human creator, enlivened by the Natural World.
only you can make it truly yours!!!

For me, an Agro-Forest is a harmonious marriage between the Natural and Human worlds,
where all beings involved are working towards their own as well as the evolution of the whole.
Welcome on board, we are in it together!!

Hello, I am Victor Pires

I've been Living in Syntropy since 2015, when I did my first Syntropic course at Sitio Semente in Brazil.

Since then, I've brought Syntropic Farming to Australia and co-founded the first Syntropic Farm there - Gabalah Farm.

For more than 20 years I've dedicated my life to not only learning how nature operates, but also researching and experiencing what it takes to walk alongside it in a a regeneratively and productive way.

Beyond practices, theories and philosophies, I've learnt that Syntropic Agroforestry is 95% human-dependant.

Its success is entirely dependant on the people involved, how they understand and relate to their natural world and how they participate (or not), in its evolutionary process.

My aim is to support you in fully participating in the development of your own Agro(human)-forest(Natural)!

Through an individualised and supportive framework, you will be confident to make decisions and move your life forward.

More important than knowing what to do, is to be confident that whatever happens we will work it out.

Together all the way!!

Catered to all climates and contexts

Syntropic Agroforestry is applicable whenever trees and shrubs grow, 
however, there are nuances that are specific to climates and contexts.
I've learned much from my 10 years of practices as well as visiting fellow
syntropic practitioners in Europe, Australia and Brazil.
I will share these lessons conceptually, visually and practically.
