This rediscovered knowledge of the local indigenous people, which solves fundamental problems in tropical agriculture, is of course a huge gift and forms an important element of our project. With our own production and the use of Terra Preta we are able to research the formula as well as the optimal use under tropical conditions. The aim is to produce Terra Preta with an economically and ecologically sustainable process and to inspire the local population and any interested parties with practical results in the field.
The heart of the Terra Preta production - charcoal production.
In addition to wood, suitable harvest waste is also used.
By fermentation we obtain our microorganisms with which we later charge the charcoal and transform the Terra Preta into black gold.
The amazing properties of Terra Preta have been discovered and successfully applied by the indigenous people of the Amazon basin.
The terraces in permaculture zone 1 are ready to be filled with Terra Preta.
