Agroforestry & reforestation

  • Functional ecosystem within 24 months
  • Every plant equipped from the moment it's planted
  • Stabilization of sandy and degraded soils

The principle

Agroforestry is where all our technologies come together.

Planting: every tree leaves the nursery already equipped with its water retainer.

Every reforestation or land-recovery programme combines Paulownia ALTIFOLIA® or local species, our EVERGREEN®/ECOSORB® water retainers applied at planting, and our ECOFERT® fertilisers to support rooting — enough to establish a functioning agroforestry ecosystem in under 24 months, even on sandy or heavily degraded soils where conventional tree-growing fails.

A method, not just a planting

Reclaiming degraded land is not just about planting trees: without support, establishment fails on sandy, poor soils or under severe water stress.

Our method systematically combines three technology building blocks from the moment of planting — the right species, the water retainer that removes the risk of water stress during the critical establishment period, and the fertiliser that supports rooting — pushing survival rates above 95%.

Beyond wood: biodiversity and diversified income

A well-run agroforestry programme restores soil microfauna and microflora, durably stabilises sandy and degraded soils against erosion, and can open access to carbon credits.

Some species, like Paulownia, also allow for significant honey production — up to 400 to 700 kg per hectare — diversifying farm income during the years before the first timber harvest.

Five branded technologies, and the agroforestry program that combines them on land to be reclaimed.
