Syntropic farming* is an intensive form of agroforestry that imitates the nature, in order to provide yields at all stages of succession, generate its own fertility, and with the goal of creating a productive forest that mimics the structure and function of the native forests.<\/p>\n

The system become autonomous from any chemical inputs (fertilizer, pesticides, weed control). It just requires strategic pruning.<\/p>\n

Syntropic farming can be used to rehabilitate degraded land and turn them into super fertile soils producing high outputs in a fully sustainable manner.<\/p>\n

Agroforestry, including Eucalyptus, can benefit from such schemes<\/p>\n

Ecological succession:<\/h5>\n

the process of changing species when a climax community evolves, each consortium creates the conditions for the next consortium and its composition of species, complexity and efficiency are increasing.<\/p>\n

Companion planting with higher density:<\/h5>\n

Consortia of plants which are beneficial for each other, higher density optimizes the use of space, sunlight, nutrient cycle, mycorrhiza.<\/p>\n

Evergreen:<\/h5>\n

Permanent soil cover with plants or organic matter (from weeding, pruning or removed plants) -> to sequester carbon, prevent soil erosion, store water, give nutrients + support soil life.<\/p>\n

Pruning:<\/h5>\n

Cutting branches to rejuvenate maturing plants, accelerates the growth rate, increases the amount of sunlight for other plants, increases nutrient cycle, directs process of natural succession.<\/p>\n

Trial and error:<\/h5>\n

Continuous cycle of observing, acting and learning.<\/p>\n

Higher productivity:<\/h5>\n

By mimicking and accelerating the natural processes (nature is the most efficient system).<\/p>\n

A native forest conservation plantation would replicate the Upper Guinean forest, a global biodiversity hotspot.<\/p>\n

Endemic species such as chimpanzee, leopard, hippopotamus, Ogilby\u2019s duiker, African golden cat will be promoted as their habitat will be replicated.<\/p>\n

In a native forest we are assured that the species are adapted to the local climate : the long rainy season (9 months) and dry season (3 months).<\/p>\n
