In this 7-part series I present an overview of the fundamental principles of syntropic agroforestry.

The first part, provides an overview.

A brief presentation of different elements and how they come together, emphasising that we must relate to our system on a more humane level in order for them to become both regenerative and productive.

The other parts expand on the elements presented in the overview (Part 1).

Hope its useful

The question “what is Syntropic Agriculture?”, is perhaps one of the most asked in today’s regenerative agriculture scene.  But, in my understanding, answers to it often provide an incomplete picture. Usually focusing on its techniques and concepts (i.e. succession, stratification, selective weeding, systems of accumulation, etc.) rather than on its essence – Human(s) interaction with nature.

A very enjoyable and informative conversation with Poldi and his quirk podcast. 

Here are some of the things we've talked about:

• Victors background into environmental science and sustainable food systems
• What is Syntropic Farming? How did it get started?
• Syntropy vs Entropy and how it fits into natural cycles
• How Syntropic farming regenerates soil
• How you can apply syntropic principles in your garden
• Victor’s favourite traditional Brazilian food recipe

Hope you enjoy it
