Description sommaire de la pratique agroécologique

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

Type de pratique agroécologique

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

Mise en œuvre de la pratique

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.
