Synecoculture – Megadiversity Agriculture
• Self-organization of densely mixed polyculture• 200+ useful plant species in 1000㎡• No tillage/fertilizers/chemicals
• Diverse vegetation strategies for efficient management

• Productivity: 1000 Euro/month/500㎡• 20 times the GNI per capita of Burkina
Faso• 50 times absolute monetary poverty
threshold: 10㎡ of synecoculture field can produce minimum wage
•40−150 times productivity than conventional farming
• 1% population practicing Synecoculturewill lift the entire population above the poverty threshold
Experiment in Burkina Faso
