The Agroforestry Academy is a company that was born out of love for Agroforestry. We are passionate about creating productive farm fields that produce high quality food AND enrich the ecosystem at the same time.
That is our mission: to cultivate abundance in every sense of the word through replicable agroforestry models that enrich farmers and ecosystems at the same time, besides producing high quality food for people.
We want to share our agroforestry experience to the world to make it possible for anybody to create their own agroforestry system. That’s why our first action as a company was to produce a FREE Agroforestry Course, which you can find available in our RU-vid channel.
Besides the course, we publish a new agroforestry video every week. As of now, we have over 170 videos published and over 160.000 views!
Thanks Felipe. Awesome video. I have a passion fruit tree, and it's out of control. I need to prune it. What month can I prune this tree? I live in Florida and my tree right now has some passion fruit. Can you please let me know when I can start pruning my tree/ Thank you so much.
I have also interplanetary my coffee trees with bananas. I like the idea of the many plants around the roots. Similar to quorum sensing to build soil. I'm in far north New Zealand.
I am in the Canaries and I am happy to learn what nobody told me here! You didn't mention keeping the narrow leaved pups, and I was told to remove the more rounded leaved ones... Maybe it has to do with our variety? They say round leaves = more leaf & less fruit!
I only stumbled on this RU-vid channel this morning, but the food forest concept is close to my heart. Just in case you have not already planted a few hundred trees of Borojoa patinoi, I would like to be the first one to draw your attention to this Amazon basin native tree, whose fruit contains 300% the percentage of digestible protein in comparison to the protein content of cow meat. Jam-packed with many other vitamins and dietary treasures, the Borojoa fruit is renowned for its aphrodisiac properties throughout South America. Borojoa patinoi MUST be planted in the shade of other trees or its leaves will brown during the tropical dry season, and this means Borojoa can be combined with existing plantation of tree crops like oil palm, cashew, mango, and avocado, thereby maximizing the returns per hectare of land. In its native South America, the Borojoa tree takes six years to reach fruiting maturity at about twelve feet tall, BUT is has been discovered that Boroja starts to produce fruit in FOUR years when planted in West Africa. In my humble opinion, Borojoa patinoi holds the key to alleviating world hunger because, throughout this planet's Equatorial belt spanning Asia, Africa, and South America, virtually ALL existing tree plantations can be planted with the shade-loving Borojoa tree as a companion tree crop, thus sowing the seeds to reap TWO streams of income for every hectare of land planted with shade trees anywhere in the tropics. In short, thousands of hectares of Borojoa can be established throughout the tropics WitHOUT felling a single tree of old-growth forest.
Hey Genaro, I hope you are feeling ok about the move… may it be for the long term best - you can do your amazing work anywhere! Would love to have a catch up chat if you feel like it some time. Wishing you all the best my friend. Gareth NZ
Thanks a lot, I needed this video! I'm going to plant a Passiflora incarnata (for the flowers and the fruits) and I know it is a too vigorous vine. I'll take care of surrounding the root with some barrier (it can send shoots even under buildings!) and also will apply your method of pruning. 😇
The last time I flew from Houston Texas to Chicago I was very sad to see what we have done to the soil through our monoculture practices and use of 26:04 industrial chemical fertilizers. No natural soil exists. We will have created desert in 50 / 100 years
I have viewed 1000 gardening blogs. Yours actually helped me the best. I am from Northern US. But I’m retired in Colombia and trying to adapt to 26:04 the different types of soil
You guys are legends. So inspiring! Question; say you have too much compost, is storing it in a water reservoir a better way then adding it to your savings account? In doing so having a liquid fertilizer?
You guys have been a true inspiration in my Syntropic Journey. What you guys have been doing is helping thousands of people plant new forests, including my small and humble Syntropic System. We always recommend your videos and courses to everyone we meet. Thank you for helping me and family recover our land in Australia. It is a small plot, which once had no trees and was used for cow pasture... now it is a thriving eco-system after a mere 3 years. Muito obrigado e boa sorte na proxima jornada de voces. Espero participar de algum workshop de voces quando estiver no Brasil. Um grande abraco de uma amigo distante da Australia.
Oh dear I’ve only just discovered your channel and really enjoyed your content. Can you say why are you are selling I’m interested to know as I am starting a similar project in Europe and I wondered if there is anything I should be careful about it as I was hoping that my project would take me out for the duration, so to speak.
I planted the top of a store bought pineapple two years ago & it produced a pup about 3-4 months later. That pup is now fully grown getting ready to fruit in its center. I never detached the pup from its mother buried under the soil. The plant grew much larger than I expected but it’s my favorite plant. Growing in Florida, USA!
Your videos genuinely changed my life. In a world of war and environmental destruction, the teachings of syntropic agroforestry, largely through your videos, showed me perhaps one of the oldest ways that humans can operate as a force for good in this world. Two years ago I did a project in senior year of high school building a garden inspired by your teachings. I wish you guys the absolute best and look forward to whatever comes next.
Viver no campo é complicado, ainda mais no Brasil, vejo muitas pessoas romantizando a vida no campo, mas é porque não sabem as dificuldades de se ter um negócio e se manter nele, afinal essa é uma industria a céu aberto. Desejo sucesso na vida de vocês e que continuem plantando agrofloresta!
Hey, Guy's This is not a good buy, yes, we have been absent, both moving into different chapters of our lives. But still, we are so proud of the work we have registered here and hope that soon we can share some more!! Me, Genaro, have had to move for family reasons but I still have a few projects up my sleeve coming soon, so hopefully it won’t be long before we can share again. Thanx for all the best wishes and we will always be here to help, just reach out!
