our plots

Four plots across 9 hectares for education, experimentation
and economic research in Syntropic Agriculture.

Each of our four syntropic plots has a unique focus.
From vegetables to fruit lines to embracing and evolving agricultural traditions.

giardino sintropico

Our giardino redefines both the aesthetic and functional aspects of garden spaces showing that environmental stewardship can be both efficient and pleasant at the same time. This innovative landscape architecture approach transcends mere visual appreciation, transforming the garden into a dynamic environment that encourages interaction as well as providing multiple harvests.

orto sintropico

Our orto introduces a pioneering model focusing on the cultivation of vegetables and fruits designed specifically for small and medium-scale farmers. In addition to successional polyculture, our orto innovates with the design of vegetable beds combined with perennial Mediterranean aromatics. The strategy is crucial for areas challenged by degradation and water scarcity, ensuring sustainable agricultural practices in environmentally stressed regions.

frutteto sintropico

The frutetto embodies a variety of fruit trees, thriving alongside forest species. The objective is to achieve harmony between fruit production and environmental rehabilitation. Its strategic approach prioritises ecosystem health, yielding a diverse, resilient agroecosystem that mimics the dynamics of a Mediterranean forest.

uliveto sintropico

An innovative, multi-layered, and diverse design proposed by Ernst Götsch to offer an alternative to the controversial monocultures of olive trees. Our approach involves dense olive tree plantations and carefully selected fruit tree rows to optimize biomass production, soil protection, and water conservation.
