---------------------------------
If you're new to the channel, my name is Byron. I specialize in syntropic food forest design, education, installation, and management. My journey began in 2020 when I started working to convert my family's diseased citrus orchard into an agroforestry farm + demonstration site in NZ. Since then, I've continued to learn from top experts & practitioners around the world (New Zealand, Brazil, Costa Rica, Florida) at these agroforestry hotspots.
How I Got Here:
- 2020: Began transforming a citrus orchard into a thriving food forest.
- Shared free agroforestry education online.
- Installed countless food forests for clients in the last few years.
- Traveled to Costa Rica, Florida, and Brazil, documenting and sharing my experiences.
- Learned from and worked alongside the top names in Syntropic Agroforestry.
- Launched the 'Food Forest Pioneers' teaching others how to start their design business.
- Created an accessible group-consulting/education community 'Food Forest Fellowship'
- Launched the FREE Training: Food Forest Secrets
.....
Today:
- My program helps people design and manage regenerative food forests.
- Cutting-edge content from global experiences & professionals shared within the Fellowship.
- We continue to innovate to make agroforestry education accessible to everyone.
To all aspiring agroforestry practitioners, remember that every challenge is part of your epic journey. Keep pushing forward. You'll either achieve great success or gain invaluable stories.
Both outcomes are victories.

Our economy is afflicted by uncertainty, housing troubles, foreclosures, global shifts, and the aftermath of the epidemic, all of which contribute to instability. To restore stability and drive growth, all sectors must urgently address rising inflation, slowing GDP, and trade disruptions.

Music distracting, but I'm an old man. Your guest has a good low-key way of presenting himself, a likeable sort. It's mango season for me (as a consumer); I wish I had access to that variety he's enthusiastic about. Thanks for another video . . . you do a good job.

When you are talking about support species and mention eucalyptus, which kind of eucalyptus are you referring to?

Small small, small scale here. It’s so rewarding even in an arid environment. Trees change the whole environment here

That last part about weedeating is the real deal. I have a small food forest and there are times I want to put in more trees, but then that means I won’t be able to get my lawnmower in those areas. I don’t mind weedeating, but I’d rather spend more time enjoying my food forest than working it. Thanks for sharing👍

Really enjoyed this tour, thanks! I find the music distracting though and also blocks the noise of the local environment which is nice to hear with these kinds of tours

Great, video, Byron. You could not have picked a better person to represent SW Florida, Matt, is super knowledgeable and always willing to share his knowledge.

Studied Florida before buying here, I'm north of Tampa in the least hurricane prone area. It's somewhat of a band from the gulf coast across through the Orlando area. Have been envying Matt for his mangoes and coconuts until that hurricane came. It was forecast to hit us but hit south instead. Grateful for the update on Matt's syntropy and sorry to hear it was so devastating. I had the "Pokemon" idea and from researching others' work have come to Matt's concept, "what grows where you are" being best.
