#43 The story, philosophy and principles of Syntropic Farming with Marc Leiber
from The Regenerative Agroforestry Podcast
Syntropic Farming has recently gained international attention, and it is about time we interview an expert on the podcast! Whilst I call him an expert, Marc Leiber prefers to see himself as a student of Syntropic Farming. He has been trained by Ernst Gotsch, the founder of the movement, and continues to work intimately with him on his farm, Quinta das Abelhas, in Southern Portugal. We believe there are few people better positioned to talk about this subject than Marc. In this interview you will understand the history, the philosophy and the principles behind Syntropic Farming. Whilst many questions remain as to how it can be scaled and the economics on our climate, Marc told such a fascinating story that we had to leave if for next time. We hope you enjoy!TABLE OF CONTENTS00:01:40 Marc’s story 00:11:55 The work of Ernst Gotsch 00:41:37 The principles of Syntropic Farming 01:12:20 Marc’s research farm • RESOURCESwww.growback.netwww.instagram.com/marc.leiberwww.agendagotsch.com• GET IN TOUCH www.regenerativeagroforestry.org• SUPPORT US www.gumroad.com/regenagroforestry• FOLLOW US on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram• FUNDING FOR EUROPEAN PROJECTS https://explore.ecosia.org/regenerative-agriculture Hosted on Acast.
