Growing the Platform: What's Coming Next

Hey everyone !

I've finally figured out what I want to do with this platform.

It will remain free to use, but I'm excited to announce that I'm working on several courses and resources that will help fund my work and allow me to dedicate more time to it.

These will be available through one-time purchases for the most part.

What I'm currently working on (in order)

1 - The Syntropic Paradigm Course

A foundational course that dives deep into the philosophy and principles behind regenerative agriculture.

-60 short video lessons (around 5 minutes each)

-Available in both video and eBook format (eBook will be cheaper)

-An encyclopedia of real-world applications of the philosophy

(practical examples and counter-examples)

2 - Stratification Course

A systematic and applied course on how to get the most out of stratifying your systems.

-Approximately 10 videos

-20–30 minutes each

-Practical and detailed

-Focused on real-world implementation and design, not pure theory but good practice.

3 - Mediterranean Plant Database

A detailed plant database built specifically for Mediterranean climates (from semi-arid to wet)

-Launching initially with around 50 plants

-Expanded gradually through regular updates (already have 350 species listed)

-Including support species, crops, ornamentals, and climbing plants

-Detailed information on functions, management, ecology, and uses

4 - Food Forestry Tools Course

A practical course covering essential food forestry tools and how to use them effectively.

5 - Seed Shop

A small seed shop focused on Mediterranean support species.

Planned offerings:

-Acacia saligna (already started, 5 EURO/100 seeds)

-Physalis

-Up to around 10 species

6 - Consultancies

I'm also beginning to offer consultancy services.

This summer:

I've already completed my first consultancy, two more are already planned for July, and around four additional people have expressed interest !

If you're interested, feel free to get in touch.

Extra details

The paid courses will be available through the Mini Courses section of the platform.

My goal is to begin releasing at least one of the courses by the end of this year.

Creating these courses takes a significant amount of work, from scripting and filming to editing and organizing the material. I'm also working on developing a dedicated website alongside all of this, so progress may be gradual, but I'm aiming to build something that is genuinely useful and very high quality.

Most courses are not systematic enough and sometimes difficult to apply in real life.

Too messy and too much information at once while still being very theoric.

I'm also considering an Early Bird/Early Access model, where people can purchase the course before it is fully completed.

The idea would be that roughly a third of the course is available immediately, with the remaining content released progressively as it is completed.

This would allow supporters to access the material earlier while helping fund the time needed to finish the project.

I've come to realize that if I want to create more content, help more people, and have a greater impact, I need a way to dedicate more of my time to this work. There's only so much I can do on my current salary, and these projects will help make the platform more sustainable while keeping the core community and resources accessible.

But I also understand that before it happens, I need to post more educational content on Youtube as much as on Instagram to draw more people in !

There's no point in making a very good course if not enough people are interested from the start

Thanks to everyone who's been following my journey and who's been involved on the platform, watching and posting ! More updates soon!
