Playa Viva’s permaculture team uses both local knowledge and scientific analysis to understand the landscape, set carbon sequestration goals for Playa Viva’s forests, and identify the most appropriate trees to introduce through reforestation. Using permaculture principles and reforestation through a lens of agroforestry design, Playa Viva works to improve the soil’s ability to retain water and begin to turn its sandy earth into microbial rich loamy soil that will benefit future generations.
