Syntropic Agroforestry with Erik Schellenberg

Erik and I go in depth into his journey to Permaculture, what works and what doesn't when we land the plane of Permaculture gardening methods, on a given site. Erik takes us on his travels to Brazil in search of truly viable ,high production methods of farming with tree crops and what he calls 4 dimensional systems. Erik gives a clear and concise comparison of Syntropic Agroforestry, it's origins and founders, and what he's gained from it. We compare Forest Gardening, Biodynamics and Syntropic methods and discuss deep design topics of where permaculture's place is, in this constellation of concepts and ideas, as an umbrella organizing principle that ties together all these techniques with the overarching focus on creating sustainable designs for human settlements.
