Recruitment of participants The Syntropic Agroforestry Masterclass: earn money by helping forests/nature to grow substantially.

​

How can you make money from agroforestry?

• By selling fruits, vegetables, wood, and animals produced in the agroforest (according to experts, agroforestry produces 5 to 10 times more than conventional monoculture production per hectare of land).
  • It produces food without agrotoxins and fertilizers that are bad for our health.

• Selling the carbon credits produced by the agroforest.

• Agroforestry goes very well with bee production. That's why many farmers also sell honey, propolis, honeycomb, etc.
  
  

• As this is still a new practice, farmers can sell their expertise in courses, lectures, etc.

Hi MalcomLeed,

It depends a lot on what you are going to grow and the products you're going to sell.

However, in general, by selling leafy greens (that's the crops with the quickest and easiest return) you can make roughly $60,000 to $150,000 per year on 1 to 1.5 acres of land (without selling carbon credit). With a margin profit of roughly ~45%.

About the Carbon Credit. Roughly you can plant between 300 to 800 trees in an acre of land. It also depends a lot on what type of trees you will use. As in agroforestry to enrich the system (more biodiversity enriches the soil) you need to maintain a variation of species - especially native species. With 1,000 trees you can sell carbon credits for $50,000 to $250,000 in a 40-year contract. Just remember that once the trees are planted and of a certain size, the income is almost 100% passive for selling the carbon credits. And the prices of carbon credits are rising almost every year.

Nowadays people are also renting some land to produce food and sell carbon credit.

I'm from Europe but I'm living in the south of Brazil right now. I know some Americans and Europeans that rent or buy a lot of acres of land to produce food using agroforestry style and also to sell the carbon credits.

In one hectare of land, you can plant roughly 1,500 to 2,500 trees.
