Restoring Life to Abundance

The objective of the course is to introduce the fundamentals of agroecology based on the local demands and to deepen on sustainable technologies of environmental restoration and strategic design of landscapes allied to agricultural production according to the principles and foundations of the syntropic agriculture.

Syntropic agriculture builds dynamic production systems that combine the planting of annual crops with fruit trees, forestry and fertilized species, increasing local biodiversity, improving soil fertility and making production more balanced and resilient.
The course will be divided into theoretical and practical parts, taking advantage of the best times of the day to put our knowledge into practice.
We will be involved with what is most innovative in terms of agricultural food production and environmental restoration, learning to plant, handle and harvest in a syntropic way, understanding how to consorciar different species in the construction of resilient environments.

Come with us for an agroecological and gentle community revolution.
