Descripción resumida de la práctica agroecológica

Food production in agroforestry systems focus on shiitake mushroom cultivation in logs

Tipo de práctica agroecológica

Agroforestry- Food production in a system that reproduces the principles of the forest.

Implementación de la práctica

We cultivate a consortium of species according to the objective of each agroforestry plot, especially fruit trees such as orange, lemon, avocado and yerba mate. Between the rows of these trees, we grow various vegetables (lettuce, garlic, carrots, etc.), herbs, medicinal plants and flowers. The wood from the trees is important because we use it for the production of shiitake mushrooms, our main product.

¿Por qué usas y qué esperas de esta práctica?

Production of nutritious, clean food that is good for people and the entire ecosystem. Mitigating the climate crisis we are experiencing is urgent.
