Explore the Cutting Edge of Temperate Syntropic Agroforestry
Join me in this enlightening conversation as I sit down with a true pioneer in the world of agroforestry, Laurenz! Coming from the largest temperate syntropic agroforestry site on the planet, in Germany!
The farm he works at is @gutundboesel
Having recently spent time at my demonstration site in New Zealand, and our discussions have been nothing short of extraordinary. We delve deep into the heart of our passion for agroforestry, exploring its purpose, function, and the transformative impact it has on both the environment and each of our lives.
We compare management techniques, sharing our perspectives on the nuances of agroforestry in both temperate and subtropical climates. Our dialogue unfolds to reveal the secrets behind the techniques, planting methods, and management strategies employed in the expansive syntropic farming systems at the cutting edge of regenerative agriculture.
A highlight of our conversation is a spotlight on a groundbreaking project where the he's part of a project converting a once-monoculture pine plantation into a thriving, diverse agroforestry system. The results are nothing short of fascinating, offering a glimpse into the potential for positive change within the agricultural landscape in restoring old pine plantations.
In a world where information on temperate syntropic agroforestry is scarce, this video is a rare gem. We shed light on the challenges and triumphs of working in this field, discussing the life-changing nature of contributing to a more sustainable and harmonious coexistence with nature.
If you're curious about the future of agriculture, passionate about environmental stewardship, or simply intrigued by the wonders of syntropic agroforestry in colder climates, this interview is a must-watch.
Join us in inspiring others to embark on their own journey into the transformative world of syntropic agroforestry. Don't miss out on this opportunity to change the way we view and interact with our planet.

FANTASTIC, glad to hear of systems in colder temperate climates. Sounds like a great project to visit. Keep it up Byron, you are a national treasure for NZ. I got a message from James about the course in NZ, you’re perfect for it. Keep on visiting, innovating, experimenting and being crazy to others. Keep exuding your passion.

Yeah Byron! Grateful for this temperate specific info. I'm planning out my temperate syntropic design and it has been so difficult to find anything that's in English so thank you for doing this interview! Getting stoked for the growing season!

@byron.in.new.zealand 3 месяца назад

Glad it was helpful! Figured there’d be someone who could get value from it. Good luck with the upcoming growing season!

Thanks a lot for this video. Syntropic Agroforestry in temperate climate still needs to prove itself, especially in cooler climates. Here, in the south of France (zone 8b), the big problem is the lack of water during the growing season and the lack of biomass plants. Poplar does not replace eucalyptus in terms of growth in my opinion. We cannot have the same density either, due to the lack of light. Except that less dense = more grass problem for example. A lot of testing is still needed and the videos in New Zealand of temperate syntropy are very interesting, as well as the experience of this one in Germany. Thanks again.

Very nice Laurenz! Talking about rhizophagy and the soil food web, mentioning the very important concept that plants are very much able to change pH adn in fact pH can vary along the root systems from µm to µm. Well done. I hope I can go and visit your project in Brandenburg some day. Byron: If you're coming to europe, there is also a small 3-4 year old system outside Copenhagen and I will be starting a couple of experimental plots as well this year.

Thank you!! Discovered a previous video and was impressed with the process and knowledge about it. Super excited to see the cold climate info. I have a small plot in the middle of the U.S. that I can start this on. Harvest will just be for my family, so this is perfect. Really appreciate the sharing of info and experience.

Such an insightful conversation. Loving the passion from both of you. I've just started incorporating syntropic food forest lines into my home orchard and am really enjoying spending time observing the system even after just a couple of months.

@byron.in.new.zealand 3 месяца назад

Wonderful! Glad you could feel the passion- No doubt you’ve already experienced your own as your system evolves

@eckvolkmann 3 месяца назад

Thx for the inspiration guys!! I’ve been sent this link by a colleague indicating to me, how many parallels we can draw from temperate, arid Brandenburg to arid, subtropical Namibia. We‘re certainly empowered by you guyzes conversation to think bigger and go faster, including with a grazing system, incorporated to our veg-production and aspirational dry-land cropping.

Great video, thanks. Is there any more information available on their system of trellising grapes on maple trees? Structure and height to prune maple trees to? Even a pic would be helpful. Many thanks.

@zanecrofts7085 3 месяца назад

You can have best both worlds by planting seeds and grafting onto the trees you grew from seed in the field. Then your tree jas genetic diversity and good root system. And the graft gives you variety you like eat.

Awesome that would’ve been great. I think the farm sometimes shares content in IG. It’s linked in the description. I’ll have to visit eventually and film

@seanrichardson881 3 месяца назад

I love how he explains epigenetics by saying plants are always evolving. Correct. And the popular method of outsourcing for plants and seeds completely prevents the evolution of plants to adapt to the specific growing conditions you live in!

@byron.in.new.zealand 3 месяца назад

Absolutely! Glad we went into the details there

@sherinsavier5071 3 месяца назад

Epic video. So good and helpful! I am actually from Germany and living in Australia now, and was wondering how i can help my brothers and friends when visiting! Thank you for that. Would you also be able to make a video about how you prepare your NZ Food forest for winter time? Everything is growing so plentiful at the moment, but I can feel the temperate slowly changing here on the east coast. Still enough time...and I watched your video how you kept everything so dense and the bananas protected. Love all youe videos. I also am thinking about and am physically managing the system any free minute I have...every plant comes alive and talks. And it is a constant learning and feels like a life worth living for, growing food and being barefoot on the ground, watching the soil getting healthier and happier.

@byron.in.new.zealand 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the awesome comment! Definitely will film something about prepping systems for winter

beautiful ! curious what the winery is in switserland Laurenz is sharing about??

@Slaxx89 3 месяца назад

Thanks a lot for creating this video! Content about syntropic systems in a temperate climate is not that widely spread, so I'm very grateful for this. An interesting topic was about raising the cash crops (=fruit trees) directly from seed in the tree rows. Laurenz specified that they do actually graft (and don't use the actual fruit, as you assumed/suggested). As the conversation led to somewhere else, I was wondering if he told you more about it after the video? When do they graft those young seedlings/trees, at what height,...? And how do you look at this: does grafting have a negative impact on those trees? (maybe less resilience, no optimal use of the genes of the "original" tree,...) Would love to hear some more about that!

@byron.in.new.zealand 3 месяца назад

Great observations! Glad you enjoyed. They didn’t specify at what age : height they’re grafting, I’d assume around year 2 maybe 3 … In-situ grafting sounds like the ideal solution honestly, aside from lower genetic diversity that you’d get growing straight from seed. But some species are way less reliable (apples, for example

I’m studying horticulture and thinking of doing a higher level when I finish in agroforestry. I live somewhere along the same longtitude/latitude. How do I find out more about this type of growing? Any help would be great! Love the video

@philinit6476 3 месяца назад

Great episode, how would you handle a white jasmine infestation. Are there plants that could act like tithonia but better within a temperte zone with the same vigor and shading qualities to manage nasty vine type weeds that are difficult to manage within a system?

@zanecrofts7085 3 месяца назад

Is there a video we can find ofbthe person groeing grapes on mapple trees. Im very interested in trying a row at the agroforestry patch we starting this autumn in Christchurch at the climate campus school by the redzone. We have mild enough frost being close to the shore in wainoni compated other side of city in hornby. We are going do a row of eucalyptus, bananas, avacodo and taro with some more support species.

@gabibibenjamin2769 3 месяца назад

Me and you are nabours lol the sea is our fence lol Im in a place called KNYSNA in South Africa western cape . I have to say thanks for all the Info that you are putting out I've learned alot not only from what u are teaching but allso from the tree sisteems in your backgrounds thanks. People say Im mad when I tell them about sintropic agroforestry and permaculture .They look at me funny some of them has become mad together with me lol I allso 100%agree in the video the gratification and sence of purpose you feel . It calls to your inner being .Thanks bro

@gabrielescollo4629 3 месяца назад

Super interesting conversation! I have to be honest and say that I was also misled for some time by the cliché that "syntropic agroforestry works only in tropical or sub-tropical regions". Luckily, I learned otherwise and next year I'm going to start my (small) agroforestry system in Northern Italy, feel free to drop by btw :D

@byron.in.new.zealand 3 месяца назад
