This is a consortium representative of a growing trend in Australia and other parts of the world, where larger land holders already running a primary production enterprise are beginning to explore #syntropy
Often these consortia are in harsh conditions and lower rainfall environments. The fundamentals are always constant, so the actual difference is only pertaining to species and growing seasons.
Land holders are starting to see the potential of passive production of fruits and nuts, timber crops etc, all which support their primary enterprise.
There is much more to come, the interest is growing rapidly. We are still trialling function, but soon enough these systems will be planned into production.
There will be a lot more coming from my farm too, as I push #syntropicfarming into a context that serves us all.
Fascinating & clear demonstration of kicking off a productive system in a difficult location. Thanx heaps. Inspiring! .. working on a property for decades now in a subtropical area myself - but surrounded by world heritage rainforest closer to the coast - I'd have to comment that some of the species used in this video seem very inappropriate to where I'm located as being serious woody weeds that are being actively removed by local landcare group as threatening sensitive natural ecosystems nearby etc .. that being said completely agree we need skilful observation & knowledge based agri--eco-systems that build soils & feed our animals & ourselves while enriching & watering our landscapes .. Best regards !
I have Madagascar black bean between my young fruit trees. They’re prolific. Self propagating, nitrogen fixing, sacrificial plants tor pests, biomass, plus we harvest the beans for our chickens and to make Mexican food.
I watched a synthropic gardening video where a local man told Roland Van Reenan too cut off all stems with imperfect leaves on his papaya plants if they were at a 90° angle or less only keeping the healthy green leaves/stems that are pointing upwards and you increase your yield.... You should totally try this as an experiment.
great vid 🙂
Well, thanks for the lovely comment!
Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently learn about semi arid planting practices. Thanks for the sharing
Loved this one, very relevant to my climatic zone. Got some good inspirations!!!
Great to hear Antje
Thanks for sharing! I'm in Kenya and have a simular climate! Very interesting and usefull for me in my context!
I have great success with, sesbania, leukenia, croton, mullberry, castor, pigeon, jacaranda, wild olive. Many others of the ones you nemtion I have not tried and it will be interesting for me to try!
Wild olive is excellent!

Hi Scott, enjoy your uploads thanks. Can you do an update on the Jackfruit synposium from two years ago?
How about planting vetiver or sugar cane along the edge of your road where the water came down so hard Not only would it protect your road from erosion.Protect your plants from overflooding but vetiver shoots can be sold
