This type of geography and climate is very close to what I have in my property in Southern India ... Very helpful material as I wanted to improve my plantation to a real agro-forestry system... All these insights will help me while I experiment in my property. Thank you very much Byron for this special one! Much appreciate your efforts to spread agroforestry as much as you can 💌

Love it, sounds amazing in there with the bird symphony

Awesome to see systems on steep slopes❤

​@EcoInstant where abouts in Colombia? I just brought a coffee farm on a steep slope near Medellin that I want to convert into food forest if either of you want to come help out. I'm also from NZ @byron.in.new.zealand Loved the video. Good discussion about steep slopes.

Beautiful system!

Right?! Stoked to have the opportunity to be there in person

one big reason why I don’t like the jungle is the clouds of insects, aggressive maskites and midges that bite very painfully

I may have not undertand. Was the recovering native rainforest cut down to plant a variety of native and non-native species?

hello byron and scott. ive been doing Syntropic farming for a few years now, but havent done projects in slopes. Been thinking a lot about this since this will be in our next project, but any thoughts on erosion during heavy rains?

Any info on what the fern tree a that hes using for bio mass? Wouldnt mind implementing some.

great video, couldn"t catch the name of the biomass tree that is the champion of the farm that he mentioned near the end, what was that?

12m between emergents. Never seen such wide spacings, interesting

Yeah I’d imagine you’d wanna over plant to give yourself options. 12m emergent spacing might be the aim for when it’s a climax system

@@byron.in.new.zealand so how are they producing enough biomass? I didn't understand this one plant he mentioned

Is it me, or are there missing info ? Where is this exactly ? Climate, scope of project... ? We can infer at some point that it's Brazil, but really not clear...

@@byron.in.new.zealand cool. I see the description now. It didn't sound like a brazilian accent to me, plus parts of Brazil are in the other hemisphere, so not the same seasons right now. always very informative to watch, keep on keeping on, brother

When and where in FL?
