Syntropic Agroforestry

hey folks 🌻👋

lovely to see how engaged the community is becoming—very cool to be part of, thank you

for initiating this magnetic space.

I’ve been practicing SAF (syntropic agroforestry) for the last two years, and prior to that I was knee deep in permaculture patterns for 5 years.

Last year I was very fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica to do my PD (permaculture design certification) with a focus on SAF for three weeks, and then spent three weeks in Brazil learning first-hand from folks leading this beautiful, regenerative way of relating to people, place, and self.

I’ve shared some resources that explain what this is for those unfamiliar, and hopefully the links to instagram work.. if they don’t, I’ll upload them to YouTube.

Our food forest here in Brisbane is 2.5 years old, we don’t irrigate, and we don’t bring in external inputs in the form of fertilisers/pesticides/fungicides—only woodchip, we also haven’t done ANY earthworks.

we are in a space now where we produce all of our own biomass onsite and use wormtea/JADAM.

95% of our space has been growing from seed, cuttings, and tubestock.
