She shares her journey from conventional, productivity-driven farming toward a regenerative approach rooted in observation, cooperation, and respect for natural systems.Natalia Muguet and Eduardo Rincón discuss the core principles of syntropic agriculture, including diverse, multi-layered planting systems that mimic forests and accelerate natural succession. Practices like pruning, biomass management, and plant diversity are reframed as tools to improve soil fertility, enhance energy flow, and build resilient ecosystems.A key focus is the role of medicinal plants, which support not only human health but also soil regeneration and biodiversity. Beyond techniques, the conversation highlights a broader philosophy based on cooperation, abundance, and a deep connection to the land. This episode invites reflection on how agriculture can shift from extraction to regeneration—and how “systems of abundance” can be created in harmony with nature.
