Regenerative Agro-Forestry is an agricultural method that concile biodiversity and agriculture it focuses on mimicking natural ecosystems in order to create synergistic relationships between crops, shrubs, trees, animals, insects, fungi and other species resulting in the creation of self-sustaining and resilient food production systems while boosting biodiversity and soil fertility.
Support biodiversity and build resilient ecosystems
Increase water availability
Improve soil fertility and serve as natural pest control
Boost CO2 fixation and help with microclimate regulation

Contribute nowRegenerative Agroforestry goes beyond food production and restoration of degraded land; it concile biodiversity and agriculture and pushes for a permanent involvement of local communities in the conservation and management of vegetal ecosystems.
Agroforestry also has significant potential for carbon fixation and can directly help fight global warming as CO2 capture and storage by vegetal species plays a massive role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission.
Higher use of pesticide and herbicide
Soil degradation and fertility loss
Higher water use
Extinction of pollinators
Soil and groundwater contamination
Higher use of synthetic fertilizer
Decrease of biodiversity
