- Ernst Gotsch, a Swiss biologist who emigrated to Brazil is pioneering a new way of agriculture in Brazil’s semi-arid regions.
Syntropic agriculture increases, rather than decreases, biodiversity and wildlife by mirroring the local ecosystem. Instead of having just one species dominating a landscape a variety of plants grow in one area which keeps nutrients and water in the soil instead of stripping them out.

its beautiful to see a person that very dedicated with replenish our greenery
It is called regenerative sustainable environmentally friendly farming or food production to suit the land and climate. This is what should happening globally instead of mass industrial farming that destroy the land, forests and natural habitat.
very encouraging to see this being done
Хм, this man have the patience and time to observe and become one with the land, his work leads to less inputs (less water, less fertilizers, etc) and better yields creating micro climates around the land which help the environment in many ways.
It's actually not that new. It seems to apply a lot ot techniques permaculture has been talking about for decades. But it's nice to see those methods in mainstream media. Hopefully it's becoming wider spread.
It's very useful method of cultivation 👍🏽
What a wonderful action in my country, congrats swiss guy!
Old grandpa vince is an experienced farming grandpa and this is so simple guys you use a combine harvester.
Great job guys Blessings 🙌
I applaud this. This might actually save the Amazon.
We have Cactus 🌵 growing in a rainforest! Agro Forestry is a good concept for farm produce on a smaller scale,it’s difficult to implement in a bigger way,forest is being cleared for many reasons, not all are vegans, and all the works as a CO2 sink the Amazon plays,it has been subjected to too much of burps and farts of farm animals.

Finally. What took you so long? Now for permaculture by Geoff Lawton!
Wow amazing food
now, if only EU farmers would get the incentive to treat their land in a similar fashion we would all be better off. as it stands today, the 'Common Agricultural Policy' (or CAP) is destroying the soil, polluting the groundwater, removing birds, insects and other animals from the land in breathtaking speed - all to have cheap meat on the table from industrial agriculture.
The bbc needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants tress
that's a hopeful story. thanks!
This is a really good idea but it is not new, indigenous people have been farming for hundreds of years like this.
The best motivation
