My grandparents' farm is similar to this style of farming. We have mango trees, coconut trees, avocado, pomelo, banana, pineapple, coffee, lanzones, and some vegetables, root crops, and herbs I don't even know the names. It was already matured when I was little so who knows how old it really is. It's just amazing how people just start planting all these trees and plants, and they eventually mature and establish their own ecosystem. Later on, they won't even need human intervention. We just come to prune and do the harvest.

It doesn't look as lush as yours but we are on the right direction. She has lost a lot every year because of insects and animals too happy to find food where there was none ! She hopes to have enough yield in an other 2 to 3 years to feed our family of 4. And eventually have some to give away. People need to know it's a long process, not rewarding at the beginning.

If you start one bed at a time and direct all your resources into this initial phase, your selective weeding and pruning attention, your manure/compost and mulch, protect it with hoops and netting and have all the long living species embraced by your first crops or placenta as we call it in S then you will also have your first yield from your annuals to pay back your efforts. After that it is getting easier, no more inputs and you move to bed nr two.

Wish I lived in a tropical area, would make my life easier. I transformed my 1/3 acre in the middle of a town, into a food forest/wild life habitat/tiny farm. It produces a lot but our growing season is only about 4 months (May-September and if we get very lucky early October). I do start annuals indoors. I have my own set up using a large commercial shelving unit, shop lights and heating pads. Right now we are in an extremely rare, long heat wave, with drought conditions, which means I have to hand water every plant, individually, using milk cartons.

I did mention this in the part of the interview that is only linked in the shownotes how Ernst learned certain techniques of slash and mulch under forest canopy by Maya farmer friends he worked with. However with modern tools and access to more useful plant species this traditional approach has been expanded to fit into our modern economic context. So it is new in the sense that a language renews despite building on previous language concepts.

Here in Brazil, we now study Syntropic Agriculture in colleges, as well as Permaculture. The legacy of Ernst Gotsch and Bill Mollison, has been more and more widespread and this is beautiful!

@@haroldseah306 The O.P. probably meant that all animals that live on this earth, including humans, can thrive and live their best life if they are in touch and in harmony with the rest of nature. This not because "someone" meant them to or planned them to, but because of their own nature. We have seen what happens to humankind when living in polluted, stressful cities, sitting on a chair or couch all day in front of a screen. We become alienated, depressed, anxiety-ridden and various illnesses of body and mind follow.

My partner and I live close to large natural forests on Vancouver Island in Western Canada. We are slowly turning our city lot sized property into a food forest. We love integrating native trees, berry bushes, herbs, and greens with our cultivated fruit and nut trees, flowers, berries, and vegetable beds. The natural ‘weeds’ are left to grow and then chopped and dropped to nourish the soil. It is such an exciting and satisfying way to work with the land. We definitely feel like we are land helpers and not just ‘farmers’. Thank you for the great inspirational videos.

I moved to the country a few months ago and have been disappointed as my soil is very compacted... I have been using raised garden beds and pots to grow food. Thank you so much for this knowledge as I now can have a food forest using your techniques. So grateful. G'day from Australia 🦘🐾🐨

Well that said the heavy pruning we do as our only work apart from harvesting is physical indeed. However it is not tiring when we work in team we enter a zone like sufis dancing with machetes and it is invigorating and we feel a bliss and satisfaction after a few hours and it is very difficult to stop. I don't know if that qualifies as work. All of this could be streamlined and mechanized if people don't want to do this as we do and it could still be along the principles of syntropy. But then they miss the fun part and the suttle observations such as young native trees, the birds nests and so much more.

Great workout too.

Absolutely loved this video and your channel!

This was a brilliant film. Thank you for sharing! Have shared with one of my friends in NZ who has just bought land, I'd consider doing this myself in the future also.

What a great video for earth day week! Thank you! 🌱🐝💚

Wow! This is brilliant. Can’t wait to learn more and get planting my own food forest. Thank you for creating this beautiful piece, and sharing these wonderful teachers with us 🙏🏼💚🌿🌳 Nga mihi & Arohanui
