Starting a Syntropic Agroforestry Project in Alicante, Spain

Hi everyone!

We’re Nicole & Carlos. We recently bought 2 hectares of land in the Costa Blanca. It’s still early days, but the idea is to turn this land into a diverse, productive, and regenerative system inspired by syntropic agroforestry.

Our vision is pretty simple. We want to create an efficient system that produces great fruit and sell it directly to the local community, while at the same time regenerating the soil and increasing biodiversity. Beyond that, we’d love for this to become a kind of community space — with workshops, educational offers, and things like u-pick days where people can come, connect, and experience the land.

Last week we did our first small pilot planting, which was a big milestone. Now we’re really excited to observe what actually grows well here and learn from it. That’s going to guide everything that comes next.

The plan is to use what we learn to design a bigger planting by this autumn/ next spring— similar to the “infestation” idea.

We’d love to connect with others in the region who are into similar things — feel free to reach out! 🙂

Looking forward to learning and growing together. 🌱
