Syntropic agroforestry is a regenerative form of agriculture that has been notably implemented in Brazil. I recently traveled to Haiti (May 2021), to participate in a Syntropic Agriculture workshop. This method of agriculture is very promising in the area of reforestation. This video captures a fraction of the excitement and optimism concerning the potential on this form of regenerative agriculture. Thank you for your time.

Imagine transforming barren and empty landscapes into abundant food forests, layered with mangoes, legumes, garlic, herbs and corn.

SwaYYam in South India is doing just this by using agroforestry and alley cropping to revitalise soils, produce an abundance of crops and educate local farmers.

Agroforestry and alley cropping allow multiple crops to be stacked in one space, with tree crops providing shelter for low-lying plants and holding water in the soil with their roots. Fast growing biomass plants are used as groundcover and then as a mulch to feed the soil. Nitrogen-fixers make nitrogen available in the soil for other plants and a range of crops are grown for year-round food.

Swales and ploughing on the contour work with the land's orientation to maximise water capture. Deep irrigation and pitcher irrigation take water deep to the roots of trees, especially young sapling plantings.

SwaYYAm and their educational centre, Open Shell Farm, enables local farmers to learn regenerative farming methods, helping them create their own sustainable incomes through healthy soils and bountiful harvests.

SwaYYAm is a recipient of the 2020 Permaculture Magazine Prize: https://www.permaculture.co.uk..../articles/2020-perma

Agroforestry is a system of land management that involves the simultaneous cultivation of farm crops and trees. This video is one of a set of six, which focuses on a farm in Viola Wisconsin. The videos demonstrate practices and innovative techniques to help you understand how to incorporate agroforestry on your land. On-site interviews are combined with instructional video and narrated slides. Content specialists include scientists and outreach professionals.

In the third video, "Alley Cropping", we discover what alley cropping is and how it can help maximize your agroforestry profit while you wait for your trees to grow.

Please visit the Center for Agroforestry (www.centerforagroforestry.org) on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channe....l/UCUOh8LRAf21gW2dt3 Practices - Alley Cropping - Center for Agroforestry 2004 - DVD AF1008 - University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry. Noncommercial use only, video used with permission. In alley cropping, an agricultural crop is grown simultaneously with a long-term tree crop to provide annual income while the tree crop matures. Fine hardwoods like walnut, oak, ash and pecan are favored species in alley cropping systems and can potentially provide high value lumber or veneer logs. Learn how nut crops can be another intermediate product and see examples of successful alley cropping practices.

Have you ever thought of farming, did you succeed or are you currently into farming. What are the pros and cons of farming. Farming is a very noble job that can be satisfying but only if you approach it the right way. Whether dairy , crop or mixed farming. Watch, learn and leave a comment, let me know what different thing you would do had this been your farm or in your own farm.

Following the Spanish-American War, the United States foreign policy, under the influence of the Monroe Doctrine, intervened in several countries in Central America and the Caribbean. The United States Marine Corps was usually the military arm of these involvements as was the case in Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
