Adopting a productive agriculture design without using any external fertilizer, he has recovered 480 hectares of degraded soil in south Bahia (Brazil). The place has developed its own microclimate, there’s been water restoration in 14 springs & wildlife has repopulated the area. The side effect of his work is the harvest itself. The successful experiment has been disseminated & adapted to different conditions for the last 30 years. The only input required is knowledge. That is the purpose of the project Agenda Gotsch. Two journalists have visited & agreed to register & follow implementation & management of two areas from scratch on Gotsch’s farm. The production of videos & text will help farmers all over the world adopt more sustainable techniques.
