A friend of mine in Brazil abandoned working in tech to start farming using these methods.

He grows many different crops intermixed with native vegetation, it's been about 12-15 years and the progress is astounding, all while helping to recover a little bit of the Atlantic Rainforest of São Paulo.

Can share a rough location, it's around São José dos Campos in the state of São Paulo.

That sounds amazing.

IMHO gardening/farming/forestry is "hacking". Especially when coupled with tech like robots, chemistry, monitoring, forecasting, etc.

Please share any and all links you may stumble across.
