Syntropic agriculture is an agricultural approach based on the principles of succession and natural stratification of ecosystems. It was developed by the Swiss farmer and scientist Ernst G枚tsch. This method promotes cooperation between plants and animals instead of competing for resources, mimicking natural processes to create sustainable and self-sufficient agricultural systems.
Reduces dependence on external inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides, promoting a closed nutrient cycle.
Creates agricultural systems that are more resistant to pests, diseases and extreme weather conditions.
Promotes biological diversity, which can increase the stability and productivity of the agricultural ecosystem.
Increases organic matter and microbial activity in the soil, improving its structure and fertility in the long term.
Planned succession and layering allow for continuous production of food and other agricultural products, without the need for extensive crop rotations.
Plan the agricultural system based on natural succession and species stratification. Identify the appropriate plants for each stage of succession and stratum.
Choose species that fulfill specific functions (nitrogen fixation, soil cover, food production, etc.) and that are compatible with each other.
Implement pruning and biomass management practices to return nutrients to the soil and maintain ecosystem structure.
Continually monitor system development and adapt as necessary to maintain balance and productivity.
Planned succession and layering allow for continuous production of food and other agricultural products, without the need for extensive crop rotations.
We cooperate with the improvement of the quality of life of man and his environment.
We are located in Sonadorsito, Monse帽or Nouel Province, Dominican Republic.
