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 💌

@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.

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

@meandillar69 2 месяца назад

My thoughts also

@exodusfamilybelize 2 месяца назад

What grows after intense logging or slash and burn is low value emergent trees that unfortunately have huge fire risks. They are speeding up the process and planting food for animals and humans and if it’s done right it holds more moisture which reduces the fire risk

@porvenirdesign Месяц назад

This is very very far from native rainforest. This particular site is the edge of an old Melina timber plantation. At least in Costa Rica, the idea of native mature rainforest is nearly impossible to find. We are almost always dealing with degraded land or abandoned agricultural land.

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

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

@byron.in.new.zealand 3 месяца назад

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

What is cleared to plant the farm? Syntropic is for restoring and regenerating too. I am uncomfortable with the clearance when there is so much land already cleared and needing regenerating.

@exodusfamilybelize 2 месяца назад

The thing is the existing jungle is non productive and in my experience a huge fire risk. It also had little food for humans or animals there. And little commercial value for lumber. While it would be better to leave some emergent trees to protect the young trees they are putting in a system that will feed people, animals and provide an income.

@porvenirdesign Месяц назад

In this site, this is the edge of an old timber plantation. The amount of area in protection in this project is huge, but clearly land that is recovering to a healthy ecosystem always needs to be done with caution.

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?

@porvenirdesign Месяц назад

Hey, yes this is so important. If you are going to go up and down the slope you need to be super diligent about keeping the soil covered at all times. You also need to understand the context well. For example, is there a lot of runoff above the site or not much. We have only chose to go and down slopes on projects where the risk of heavy erosion is low due to the site context.
