Agroforestry Implementation - observational plot

The Agroforestry System developed by ReflorestarPt is based on the in-depth observation of natural systems and their behavior, which we designate as Natural Stratification and Succession. Through human intervention, we can accelerate and contribute to these processes, and the maintenance of systems, especially in the first 3 to 5 years, is essential for their success so that, once the system is installed, nature makes the evolution of the system for itself, reducing the human workload.
