Reforestal's Cultivation Methods: Innovation for Sustainability
At Reforestal, our approach to reforestation combines advanced, sustainable techniques with a deep respect for local conditions and community participation. This method allows us to maximize the ecological, economic and social impact of our projects, establishing a replicable model that fosters sustainable and effective practices to care for the environment.
We analyzed and created an agroforestry distribution system. That is: a sustainable practice that combines the planting of trees with agricultural crops. This approach
integrates natural and productive elements to improve soil fertility, conserve water, increase biodiversity and generate economic benefits in the short, medium and long term. It also contributes to mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon and protecting ecosystems.
We also analyze: planting orientation, sun exposure required for each species, as well as the hours of shade needed and irrigation methods.
REFORESTATION STRATEGY:
An Integral Vision
Our main goal is to establish pseudo-natural vegetation patches, which connect the remnants of vegetation present around the work area. They will not only contribute to ecosystem restoration, but will also be economically viable through the integration of agroforestry systems.
This model:
Promotes biodiversity, providing essential habitats for local species.
Sequesters carbon, actively contributing to climate change mitigation.
Strengthens local communities, creating jobs and promoting sustainability.
CULTIVATION PHASES AND INNOVATIVE METHODS
Rotational Crops
Helps prevent erosion and improve soil fertility by diversifying organic matter and reducing compaction.
Interrupts pest and disease cycles, reducing the need for pesticides.
It promotes a more balanced ecosystem, which benefits local fauna and flora.
Different crops can take advantage of different nutrients and soil resources, improving the overall efficiency of the system.
The combination of trees and crops helps regulate temperature and humidity, creating a more favorable environment for growth.
Nitrogen fixation (legumes)
FAST-GROWING PIONEER SPECIES
We start with cultivation fast-growing species such as balsa and cedar, which protect the soil from erosion and provide initial shade for other plants. Their wood, highly valued in the wind industry, ensures an early economic income in the project.
ADAPTIVE AGROFORESTRY WITH NATIVE SPECIES
We apply innovative agroforestry systems that integrate:
Fruit trees such as guava, mango, orange and lemon, which benefit both local fauna and human communities. Also passion fruit, which is used as a tutor.
Intercropping, such as leguminous crops (acacia, alder) and rotational crops (corn, garlic, chili), which improve soil health and control pests naturally.
Direct seeding methods to facilitate simple harvests and minimize environmental disturbance, favoring biodiversity.
Use of Bamboo, Biochar and Basalt
We incorporate Guadua bamboo, useful as a construction material and essential to encourage the presence of wildlife.
Biochar improves soil fertility and increases microbiota, improves water retention and acidity reduction, turning crops into effective CO₂ sinks.
The incorporation of ground basalt, mixed with fertilizers, captures CO₂ and provides essential nutrients such as magnesium, potassium and calcium.
PREPARING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
We prioritize species resistant to the temperatures and climatic conditions of the region.
We implemented agroforestry systems with acacias, whose wood is strong and resistant, and whose leaves are used for biofertilizers, favoring soil and water conservation.
BIODIVERSITY, POLLINATION AND SOIL CONSERVATION
We will incorporate beehives to encourage pollination, which is crucial for ecosystem health. In addition, the roots of intercropped crops act as natural barriers, reducing pests and helping to maintain soil moisture, which contributes to water conservation and environmental balance.
COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES
We work closely with local communities, who provide valuable knowledge on farming methods and environmental protection.
Our collaboration includes:
Participatory planning: joint selection of areas and strategies.
Accessible communication through direct visits and platforms such as WhatsApp.
Ongoing assessments to ensure sustainability and gather suggestions.
A MODEL FOR THE FUTURE
Reforestal combines technological innovation with sustainable agroforestry and a strong social commitment to transform reforestation into a global solution. Our integrated approach offers solutions that benefit nature and people alike.
Reforestation as a global solution:
we create a flagship model that reduces environmental impact, regenerates the planet and provides sustainable benefits for future generations.
