ECOTOP is redefining how farming works with nature, not against it
Which crop do you work with?
What we offer
Regenerating tropical farming systems with healthier soils, higher yields and income from the very first year — and building the local capacity to run and scale them.
Feasibility, system design and implementation of DAF projects, from the first assessment to handover to local teams.
Learn more →20 years of practical experience, delivered as participatory training programs.
Learn more →Field data, farm mapping and live dashboards, built for agroforestry. For regulated commodities, EUDR due diligence comes on top.
Carbon insetting following certifier methodologies and third-party audits.
Learn more →Scientific research with leading institutions, proving DAF at scale.

In the 1990s, after a visit from Ernst Götsch, Joachim Milz and a group of pioneer farmers in Alto Beni developed Dynamic Agroforestry on their own plots. The mix made the difference: farmers’ knowledge and agronomists with curiosity and a critical eye, looking for answers that no classroom could give.
The Sara Ana long-term trial with FiBL compares DAF cocoa with monoculture on the same site, with peer-reviewed results. As the pioneers of the method, ECOTOP has been part of most DAF research to date.
Our trainers are farmers and agronomists. Methods are passed on plot by plot, in the field, not on paper.
