Syntropic farming is a field within the larger domains of agroecology and agroforestry. Syntropic systems complement the food forest ideas within permaculture design by providing more specific design details, metrics, and arrangements that focus on precisely imitating the spatial and temporal relationships of a region\u2019s native forest ecology. It is a form of successional agriculture, as it is based on leveraging the power of ecological succession.\u00a0 Syntropic agriculture provides a set of principles and tools for shifting from organic monocultures and input based agriculture towards a holistic focus on ecology. In the end it is a system that seeks to imitate the forest and all of its processes.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":100005325,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[262],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-100005322","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-oktatas","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/most.permaculture.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/100005322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/most.permaculture.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/most.permaculture.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/most.permaculture.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100005322"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/most.permaculture.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100005325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/most.permaculture.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100005322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/most.permaculture.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=100005322"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/most.permaculture.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=100005322"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/most.permaculture.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=100005322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
