ECOTOP works through a small network of entities in Switzerland and Bolivia, each with its own part in planning, delivering and teaching Dynamic Agroforestry.
Each part of ECOTOP has its own job, from project work with companies to research, training and advocacy in Bolivia.
The main operating company of ECOTOP. It leads our project work with companies and development partners, from the first farm assessment and system design to multi-year implementation in the field.
Our agronomists and field technicians set up Dynamic Agroforestry systems with farmers and stay on with training and technical assistance until the change shows in soils and yields. ECOTOP Suisse also quantifies carbon removals and monitors plots, including EUDR verification, for cocoa, coffee and other supply chains.
Clients include European companies with tropical supply chains; the work is set up to fit their climate commitments, such as SBTi targets.
The foundation promotes regenerative agriculture through education, research and sharing knowledge on DAF. It gives farmers training, technical assistance and practical tools for more diversity, fertile soils and resilience to climate change.
Founded by Dr. Joachim Milz in Alto Beni, ECOTOP S.R.L. works on sustainable rural development through Dynamic Agroforestry. It provides consultancy, training programmes and technical support for better yields, food security, diversity and climate resilience.
It works mainly in Latin America, with cocoa, coca, coffee, rice and corn, and supports farmers, cooperatives and companies in moving to DAF. Its farms serve as training hubs with diverse agroforestry plantations.
ECOTOP Germany adapts Dynamic Agroforestry and regenerative agriculture to European climates. While ECOTOP’s roots lie in the tropics, this branch works on tree-based systems that fit temperate farming landscapes.
