This level is built for farmers, youth groups, and emerging practitioners who want to implement syntropic agroforestry on their own land or community farms.
It goes beyond theory offering real-field experience, hands-on demonstrations, and guided practice in designing and managing productive agroforestry systems. By the end of this level, learners not only understand the system; they can apply it, troubleshoot challenges, combine plant species effectively, and manage living systems through natural succession.
This training builds confidence, skill, and readiness to launch your own regenerative farming project.
- On-field implementation of syntropic systems
- Species combination planning
- Row design, pruning, mulching & succession
- Managing productive agroforestry systems
The Master Class is the academy’s most advanced, in-depth level designed for experienced farmers, agronomists, and future trainers who want to master syntropic agroforestry at a professional standard.
Learners dive into complex design systems, advanced succession planning, multi-layer species integration, and long-term agroecosystem management. You’ll also develop leadership, coaching, and consultancy skillsequipping you to train others, manage large-scale projects, and serve as a regenerative agriculture ambassador within your community or organization.
