heal the land by growing food - Syntropic Agroforestry / Brazil [2023]

Technical details & walkthroughs of the young syntropic food forest / agroforestry systems at Gustavo's farm in Brasilia, Brazil.
They grow vegetables, herbs, medicinals and edible flowers which they deliver into the city each week, while their tree-lines develop and establish with a series of high-value fruit, nut, timber and support species.
There's lots to learn here!
Plant selection, layout patterns, managing organic material, chop and drop, support species pruning, agroforestry philosophy and practical wisdom for naturally building soil fertility.
It was an incredible experience to stay with Gustavo and his family - Follow their journey on Instagram at @santafloresta
See you soon for details on the recent spring projects here in New Zealand.

    Hey Bryan, thanks for this new rocking Video! I enjoy to see the videos from your Brazil trip. What is the tree line distance Gustavo used for the layout? What is the variety of Eucalypt that Gustavo planted? Do you have information on which variety of Eucalyptus works best for each climat zone to establish Syntropic Agroforestry Systems? Last year I started my own first experimental batches of Syntropic systems in tropical Chiapas of southern Mexico with inspiration of your videos but still without Eucalyptus. This year I want to try it with Eucalyptus, Acacia mangium and Inga varieties as the main shade trees. Lets Bring Syntropc Agroforest System to all world ! Greetings and Big thanks for your work Anton

    ​​​@@byron.in.new.zealandsomething Gustavo said in one of your other videos really hits home to me. He said something along the lines like, "our purpose is to be just like an Ant, we are from nature and organizing matter is our highest purpose....". I forget the exact words of what he said but it really hits home for me and gives me motivation and purpose in life. I live in the desert Southwest and these principles could completely change the landscape to what it was hundreds of years ago. This land where I live is going to be completely different when I depart. I'm honestly surprised living in S NM in the Rio grande valley was such a big agricultural community that nobody is doing these practices.

    Hey Byron! I come from Kentucky in the USA and over the past growing season I have found your channel and read a few books regarding permaculture and food forests. I have much enjoyed watching your videos and have been filled with heaps of inspiration and motivation. It seems that KZread is saturated specifically with content pertaining to Syntropic Agro-Forestry in TROPICAL or SUB-TROPICAL growing zones, however I live in a USDA hardiness zone 6B which is Temperate and gets a couple inches of snow in the winter with frosts as cold as -6F. There are a few creators in Europe who have somewhat of a similar climate but are still Mediterranean to which the information is not so replicable. Would you be willing to make a video discussing a model of plants that you would choose, say, if you had to move to an area that was like mine and you wanted to build a Syntropic Agro-Forestry system from scratch? What guilds of plants? I'm sure many people would find this kind of video quite helpful! I plan on making some videos as I go, to track the progress and share! All the best ~

    Loved reading this - Excited about your journey! I’ve got a whole ‘temperate/Mediterranean’ section of my systems, so will prioritise making a dedicated video to share those species and slightly different dynamics. Thanks for watching!

    One question: do you or Gustavo deal with browsing animals. We have very heavy deer pressure here in Zone 9b and I’m wondering if excluding them with fences is pretty much the only solution. Or do you all have some other techniques?

  • @floridagrown6250
    @floridagrown62504 ай бұрын

    So do they just let the trees grow so close together? Or do they wait till they get to a certain maturity and then cut the undesirable one?
