As farmers, we asked ourselves: How can we feed ourselves and other people sustainably? Over the last 4 years, we have breathed new life into our farm using various permaculture practices. At the same time, new questions have arisen over time. How can we most effectively produce biomass and build up soil permanently? How can the water supply be ensured sustainably? How can we better identify what our system needs? We found the answers to these questions in syntropy. With this video, we want to give an initial insight into syntropy and syntropic agroforestry. Syntropic agroforestry works with nature and not against it - through strategies that are similar to the way natural ecosystems work. This concept assumes that all species are part of a macroorganism that functions according to the logic of cooperation and unconditional love for life. Humans are part of this system. Instead of exploiters, they can be creators of resources. Syntropic agriculture helps the farmer replicate and accelerate the natural processes of ecological succession and stratification by providing each plant with the ideal conditions for its development and by placing each plant in its "just right" position in space (strata) and in time (succession). It is process-based agriculture rather than input-based. In this way, harvest is seen as a side effect of ecosystem regeneration, or vice versa. ** english subtitles are available ** Follow our permaculture project Gemeinschaftshof [v:]Erde on other platforms: ????
