1 Year Of Syntropy In Africa - Syntropic Agriculture

Can dry desolate over-worked soil be transformed through syntropic agriculture? Let's find out if agroforestry and biomimicry can transform African Agriculture. Follow along on a one year Syntropic Agriculture adventure here at Riverside Farm in southern Zambia.

Very impressive Craig

[@CraigForChange]

Thanks! It's been really fun to learn. I can't wait to start on our next two block trial and improve on it.

[@semeandofloresta]

Very good project, lets agroforestry 🙏🌴🌳

[@CraigForChange]

Absolutely

[@MistressOP]

plus, parts of the mullberry can be chip the branches can be feed whole to rabbits / goats or you can strip and chip to feed to cattle (or let cattle browest the vertical branches then cut them later for chipping. mullberry is really under used world wide. clumping Bamboo as well.

Great Video Craig. After seeing your forest, I was motivated to redesign my orchard and it’s coming . Will visit you again.

[@CraigForChange]

Sounds good! That’s awesome!

[@chessman483]

Looks awesome, ours is a year old but a little behind you I think. We had a few dying but established bananas and they are the only thing a little ahead. But I’d be proud if my food forest looked as good as yours. Congratz.

Very nice, if you ever pass in Morogoro Tanzania, please pass by to exchange ideas!

[@CraigForChange]

I get up to Mafinga every yearas I sit on a board for a big avocado farm there. I can’t remember how far that is from there. I think it’s a ways though.

[@ChristopheCox-sj6ne]

@@CraigForChange thats like 400 km

[@abeljones7900]

How do you get started farming in Africa?

[@bongos1996]

Good work Craig, like to see the side by side data trials on the 2ha. What kind of water application did you do?

[@CraigForChange]

We did water them with microjets two times per week. Maybe 2-4 hours depending on need.

[@sheep.herder]

inspired

[@friederkrug]

Great video!! May I ask how you established mombasa?

[@CraigForChange]

By seed.

[@MangornForest]

Do you know the species of mulberry you are using for biomass?

[@CraigForChange]

Morus mesozygia

[@mgez919]

Ever thought about running some meat chickens down the grass rows in some salatine pens?

[@CraigForChange]

Definitely would boost the nitrogen. We are working to put some layers and Jersey cows down the rows in the next size up we are building. I think it will be the missing piece to boost up nitrogen to make production come on faster. We will see! Excited about the possibilities to stack enterprises on it.

[@spearwarrior3560]

how big of area?

[@CraigForChange]

About 1/8 of a hectare.

[@CraigForChange]

About 1/8th hectare. It was just a proof of concept. Now we are looking to try two hectare modified in two test blocks.
