From monocultures to food forests: diversifying palm oil plantations | Refugio Tinti 

We present a concept for the transformation of palm oil monocultures into diversified, regenerative food forests. Instead of planting only one crop, which exhausts the soil and makes the use of synthetic fertilizers necessary, we combine 11 species, including cash crops such as vanilla and the Inca nut. These plants complement each other, thereby improving the soil year after year - this way, our plantation flourishes both ecologically and economically.
