Planting Water In the Outback - Syntropic Farming
SAT, OCT 8 - OCT 10
Transform the way you grow your food and multiply productivity in your backyard, market garden or large-scale farm in a semi-arid region.
More than just a gardening course
The word ‘Syntropy’ in an agroforestry concept which refers to “increasing complexity” or bio-diversity within the system.
As an innovative approach to regenerative agriculture, Syntropic Farming allows us to create dynamic, successional, and economically viable ecosystems that restore degraded soil biodiversity by mimicing what nature does, but in a system that can be easily managed AND uses less water than conventional methods.
What makes Syntropic farming unique is that it emulates the growth of the rainforest, one of the most bio-diverse systems of life on the planet.
By understanding and respecting nature’s complex system and copying how the rainforest functions, we can save massive amounts of water on our crops or orchards, eliminate the use of chemicals and considerably reduce financial and labour cost.
