---------------------------------
If you're new to the channel, my name is Byron. I specialize in syntropic food forest design, education, installation, and management. My journey began in 2020 when I started working to convert my family's diseased citrus orchard into an agroforestry farm + demonstration site in NZ. Since then, I've continued to learn from top experts & practitioners around the world.
How I Got Here:
- 2020: Began transforming a citrus orchard into a thriving food forest.
- Shared free agroforestry education online.
- Installed countless food forests for clients in the last few years.
- Traveled to Costa Rica, Florida, and Brazil, documenting and sharing my experiences.
- Learned from and worked alongside top names in Syntropic Agroforestry.
- Launched the 'Food Forest Pioneers' teaching others how to start their design business.
- Created an accessible group-consulting/education community 'Food Forest Fellowship'
- Launched the FREE Training: Food Forest Secrets
.....
Today:
- The Fellowship community helps people design, implement & manage regenerative food forests.
- Cutting-edge content from global experiences & professionals shared within the Fellowship.
- We continue to innovate to make agroforestry education accessible to everyone.
To all aspiring agroforestry practitioners, remember that every challenge is part of your epic journey. Keep pushing forward. You'll either achieve great success or gain invaluable stories.
Both outcomes are victories.

Ever wondered why you'd stick to a boring 9-to-5 when you could be saving the planet through permaculture design and agroforestry? In this video, I share my journey of two weeks at a Syntropic Permaculture Design Course in Costa Rica with my mentors Scott Gallant and Sam Kenworthy from Porvenir Design.
Check out their work:

Join me to explore reforestation projects, highlight the importance of influential permaculture figures, and dive into the cutting-edge agroforestry systems in Costa Rica's dry tropics. Learn from experts like Scott and Javi about managing these unique ecosystems and see firsthand the incredible value of these practices.
đ What You'll Learn:
- Practical blueprints and technical how-tos for agroforestry.
- How to grow food and restore ecosystems simultaneously.
- The dynamics of water capturing and accumulation systems in dry climates.
- Insights from leading permaculture designers in Central America.
- The importance of non-compaction for soil health and water absorption.
- The exciting developments of the Food Forest Pioneers and the Food Forest Fellowship.
- This work is more than just planting trees; it's about creating a sustainable future, reconnecting with our environment, and producing resources for communities.
đ Resources & Highlights:
- Behind-the-scenes look at advanced agroforestry practices.
- Interviews with top permaculture experts.
- Tips on creating effective agroforestry systems with minimal inputs.
- The benefits of reforesting large landscapes and integrating animals.
Join the Food Forest Family and be part of a movement that's making a real difference. Let's grow food, restore our ecosystems, and create a future worth living!

Really nice my friend. What a pleasure to revisit the amazing time we had there at Tierramore.đ
-
Beautiful hermano, such a pleasure to teach, explore, and work together. You should see these systems now, really full explosion of growth!
-
we live here in Guanacaste Costa Rica with 30 hectares in the mountains. We are doing the same thing , planting as much as possible. Love regenerating the land, its truly amazing. Great video!
-
Doing amazing things. I only have 5 acres, but Iâm pouring my heart into it.
-
Really beautiful video. Such incredible meaningful work

A Agrofloresta é o negócio do futuro. Sequestra gås carbÎnico. recupera åreas degradadas. gera alimentos sem agrotóxico. Gera renda o ano inteiro e etc...Parabéns pelo trabalho.

Me too the last 10 years,I planted 1000 jackfruit trees,470 chempedack trees,300 mango trees,75 rollinia,durian and more,vermiculture I do tooâ€â€â€
-
Nice one đ€
-
Castor would do well at that sight, crotalaria too. Great content keep it up!!!
-
Can you make a video on how to establish a syntropic system in an area that already has trees? I have 40 acres of degraded open eucalypt woodland and I would love to turn it into a farm but cutting out those beautiful old growth eucalyptus isn't something I'm super keen to do

Howâs it Byron, your videos are amazing and the work you do is phenomenal man. Iâm just out of Uni, donât know what direction to move in. At the beginning of your video you said âwhy work a boring job when you can do permaculture design and agroforestry to save the worldâ, where do I start to acquire the knowledge to be able to do this full time? Does your Food Forestry fellowship introduce beginners into this world and provide a solid foundation to build on or is it more advanced?

Excelent initiate. Salute from Panamađ”đŠ. How far is it from being economically profitable by selling its produce?
-
Danke

Hello, thank you for your work. I am currently building a food forest in Paraguay and wanted to ask you if I can buy good seeds from Costa Rica.

Do you/will you ever do work in cold climates?

Growing food the right way is awesome! However, Communes and socialism always collapses eventually....growing food is only one part of sustainable living. I'd argue it's the easy part. The difficult part is people management, social and economic structure, govt.etc. If you can figure out a way for people to live free and sustainably without eventual societal collapse or tyranny rising.......Respecting the individual and family unit and teaching the people to not exploit or encroach on each other is key.

You are not sharing what you are learning and I know itâs because you will create course we canât buy bc of where we live
