Full breakfast at the Playa Viva hotel + lunch on the permaculture farm.
We will start with theory on how to plan a consortium of species in an agroforestry system applying the principles discussed in the first session -strata, succession and coverage of the soil. A practical planning exercise of a system will be carried out, assessing the producer's objective in terms of quantities and products to be produced, considering all the variables of your property: climate, soil quality, land leveling, positioning relative to the sun, etc.
After these approaches are presented and discussed, the implementation of the area will begin with:
● Soil preparation: The topic of how to properly prepare the soil for the species to plant and the area to implement. Our goal is for you to understand the characteristics of the soil where plants and agroforestry systems thrive, and to understand how and when preparation needs attention; and finally, how to use an agroforestry design to recover soil over time.
● Ground cover: The type of cover that is most suitable for the species to be explored will be explored, focusing on how to obtain organic matter in and above the soil, and how to cover the beds and the surface where in an agroforestry system.
● Planting: We will start the practical implementation in the field.
Yoga at sunset on the platform by the beach + dinner and farm inspired cocktails at the hotel.
