What do we offer

At Ecotop, we understand that long-term success in human-nature interactions depends on respecting and embracing essential life principles like natural succession and biodiversity.

Our experience with Dynamic Agroforestry has demonstrated the ability to regenerate depleted soils and infested plantations of cacao, coffee, and other crops without external inputs. By improving organic matter turnover, diversifying production, and tailoring management to specific crop and ecosystem needs, we effectively reduce pest and disease incidence, improve productivity and enhance soil fertility. These changes are quickly evident, improving food security for farmers’ families. We design innovative strategies and provide extensive training in DAF for farms of all sizes. Our goal is to deliver customized solutions that incorporate Dynamic Agroforestry principles to promote sustainable supply chains, environmental protection, biodiversity, and CO2 sequestration.
