Interview in Person w/ Scott Gallant
Hey guys ! I have been quite offline this last month due to many projects going on, consultancies and my phone that has broken down for 3 weeks now, waiting on the repair... But, in the meantime, I deliver you this very interesting in-person interview with Scott Gallant (already did a Zoom interview with him - available on Youtube), but as he has a new project in Puglia, Southern Italy, and I always wanted to visit projects around - such as Amadeco Salento and Regen Habitat - I packed up and went on a trip ! Interview with Giuseppe Sanicandro - Regen Habitat coming soon. I couldn't interview the Amadeco Salento team, only had time for a tour to check out the place...but that will be for next time ! While I wait for my phone to be fixed up, enjoy this video !

Successional Accumulation w/ Scott Hall
Hey guys ! Had a bit of a break from the platform, but planning on posting more often again ! I had the opportunity to interview Scott Hall again about a method of syntropic agroforestry he calls Successional Accumulation - an approach that aims to establish systems with little to no external amendments and, in many climates, little to no irrigation. (In brittle climates, some irrigation and mulch are still usually needed to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture, but the requirements are far lower than with the typical Plant All at Once approach.) For many people, it may seem like Scott is reinventing the wheel or proposing something that Ernst Götsch never practiced. But in reality, Ernst started his farm using a very similar approach; he simply never coined a specific term for it. Today, Plant All at Once is used in the vast majority of syntropic systems. While it can produce impressive results, it is also demanding because it often requires large quantities of amendments and biomass to support primary species and crops. In brittle climates, these inputs can be difficult and expensive to obtain, especially during dry years when straw bales are expensive adn scarce. Access is another challenge. Many farms are located in remote areas, and the cost of transportation for all materials continues to rise. That's why Scott's ideas are so interesting. Successional Accumulation offers a different pathway - one that seeks to build fertility and biomass progressively using trees only, rather than importing large quantities of biomass upfront. Enjoy the interview - there are some real gems in there!
Interview with Mike Garcia
Hi you all, I have the pleasure today to release this amazing interview with Mike Garcia - syntropic practitioner and farmer in Florida ! This interview is really geared towards logistics of his operation and his diverse enterprises ! He does intensive market gardening on two acres, has a poultry operation (chicken tractor), produces fruit (bananas, papayas, ect) and has a nursery ! A really godo interview for those of you interested in the details of a syntropic operation !
Interview w/ Joshua Andersen
So stoked to share this interview with you guys ! Josh has got some really deep insights into syntropic ag, with his 15 years of experience, having worked on conventional orchards and pruned hundreds of thousands of trees - mangoes, avocados, olives, peaches, ect. Where he is now - Ibiza, he's working on a chicken broiler operation along with 8km of syntropic rows including peach, citrus and olive ! He's got some really good insights into the philosophy of syntropy. He loves nerding on it and reads and watches everything that concerns syntropy and syntropic agroforestry, no better person to talk about it !
Interview with Scott Gallant !
Hey you all ! I've been super busy planning out some interviews lately and working on developing my Instagram account to draw more members to the platform, while planting out the last systems for this year on the farm. Over time I'll cover them all here ! This interview with Scott is a gem, Scott is a really practical guy with a real proficiency with Syntropic ag, he's been installing many syntropic systems in Central America over 16 years of practice ! Enjoy the conversation !
