At ECOTOP, we are committed to conducting scientific research to substantiate our claims and demonstrate that Dynamic Agroforestry (DAF) is not just a theoretical concept, but a proven and practical approach.
Through collaborations with esteemed research partners such as the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL – Switzerland) and the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG), we have established comparison trials of DAF with conventional cocoa and other farming systems.
We lead in Dynamic Agroforestry Systems research, optimizing biodiversity, soil health, and carbon sequestration while developing methodologies to enhance long-term yield performance and mitigate Scope 3 emissions.
We are leaders in the study and implementation of Dynamic Agroforestry Systems, exploring their capacity to enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, and sequester carbon. Our research demonstrates how these systems outperform conventional practices in productivity and environmental benefits.
Our research investigates the potential of agroforestry systems to mitigate climate change through carbon insetting. We develop methodologies to quantify carbon capture and optimize sequestration processes, ensuring practical applications for businesses addressing Scope 3 emissions (GHG Protocol).
Our research examines the sustained productivity of agroforestry systems, focusing on how diverse plantings and dynamic management practices can provide reliable yields over extended periods, ensuring long-term economic and environmental benefits.
We research how agroforestry practices improve soil health, support sustainable land management, and enhance climate resilience for long-term agricultural productivity and environmental stewardship.
Healthy soils are the foundation of sustainable agriculture. Through extensive field studies, we analyze how agroforestry practices, such as mulching,pruning and stratification, contribute to nutrient cycling, soil structure, and long-term productivity.
We explore innovative strategies for land use that balance economic viability with environmental stewardship. Our research supports regenerative practices that restore degraded landscapes, enhance ecosystem services, and benefit local communities.
Building resilient agricultural systems is essential in the face of a changing climate. Our research focuses on how agroforestry can adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change, ensuring sustainable food production and ecosystem health.
