In the depleted lands of Brazil, Swiss agronomist Ernst Götsch found fertile soil to imagine and test transformative agricultural techniques.

This is the brainchild of Ernst Götsch, the Swiss agronomist who is transforming traditional agriculture into organic farming in Brazil.

The many young followers of syntropic agriculture are now spreading the seeds of Götsch’s concept in training sessions, on social networks and on reality TV. One of the reasons why Götsch’s concept stirs so much attention is because he has found a solution to global problems that are becoming increasingly urgent: climate change, soil erosion, species extinction and deforestation.

More recently, large-scale Brazilian farmers have also shown interest in Götsch’s cultivation method for economic reasons.
