Implementation and management of
semi-arid soil regeneration

Wild Alentejo operates as a living laboratory of 1000m² in Mértola, dedicated to reversing desertification through complex regenerative systems and total off-grid resource management.

The infrastructure integrates technical management of water, energy and biological resources to build resilience in semi-arid ecosystems, operating without dependency on external grids.

The system is based on the principles of syntropic agriculture: photovoltaic energy enables water management, feeding agroforestry systems that optimise soil thermoregulation and moisture retention to close the biological succession cycle.

• ✔
