SYNTROPIC FARMING

A theoretical and practical course for those who want to design and manage Agroforestry Systems according to the Syntropic Agriculture approach and manage regenerative agricultural systems. We will learn how to transform poor soil into a productive and regenerative ecosystem, inspired by the principles of ecology through both Self-Produced Natural Fertilizers and Syntropic Agroforestry processes.
