The Mediterranean Farmer's Guide to Syntropic Agroforestry

Discover how to implement Syntropic Agroforestry in the challenging Mediterranean climate. Learn to overcome extreme drought and degraded soils by mimicking nature. Design resilient ecosystems without relying on intensive irrigation, maximizing biodiversity and adapting local genetics to achieve abundant, efficient, and truly sustainable harvests.

What you will learn

  • How the Mediterranean climate works with its dry summers and wet winters.
  • The four climate subtypes: coastal, semi-arid, continental and mountain.
  • The context of severely degraded soil due to intensive farming practices.
  • Why rainfall occurs in winter, creating long months of summer drought.
  • How syntropic agriculture uses live plant biomass as a managed water reserve.
  • Use of live organic mulch to maintain optimal soil moisture and temperature.
  • Recovering ancient and local crop varieties for higher drought resilience.
  • How Mediterranean microclimates allow cultivating citrus and subtropicals.
  • Planting with agroforestry principles: high density, stratification and biodiversity.
  • How syntropic agroforestry produces food without irrigation or external inputs.
