The Evolution Will Be Syntropic
A Feature Length Documentary
What if there was a way for humanity and Nature to not only survive, but thrive together? Filmed across the planet, The Forest Explains is a perspective-shifting and redemptive story about creating paradise on Earth through Syntropic Farming.
What if we could heal the earth through growing food?
Through Syntropic Farming We Can
Co-Create with Life
Rather than dominating nature, we step into collaboration. Every decision is made with awareness of nature’s intelligence, allowing us to work with Life instead of against it.
Abundance Without Extraction
We learn that true abundance doesn’t come from taking more, but from supporting Life to thrive. Through this process we have higher yields whilst creating a healthier eco-system.
Belonging to the Living World
Reconnect with the land not as something to use, but as something to be part of. In the rhythm of planting, pruning, and observing, we remember that we are not separate from nature—we are nature.
Heal The Earth Through Farming
Stabilise local and global climates, water cycles and carbon cycles through regenerative agriculture. This means our long history of degradation can become a legacy of regeneration.
"The biggest external input we use in this activity to have a high yield is wisdom. You don't need fertilizer or chemicals."
Ernst Gotsch
Founder of Syntropic Farming

What is Syntropic Farming?
Syntropic Farming is a method of growing food that mimics how a natural forest works—diverse, abundant, and self-sustaining.
It was developed in Brazil by Ernst Götsch and is rooted in both science and Indigenous wisdom.
At its core, it’s about high yield food production and regenerating the land at the same time. Instead of clearing land and decresing life, Syntropic Farming adds life—lots of it—by planting many different species together in layers, just like a forest.
Farmers work with natural patterns of light, time, and growth known as succession and stratification. As well as harnessing the ecological function of various plants and insects to improve soil health, increase ecosystem resilience and increase yield.
Over time, this approach can turn degraded land into a vibrant, food-producing forest—meeting both human and ecological needs in the same space. This not only produces organic nutrient rich food, it simultaniously restores carbon cycles and water cycles contributing to greater ecological concerns.

'Syntropy is the energy of Life, it converges and leads towards cooperation and love.'
- Ulisse Di Corpo
Syntropy is a principle from physics that describes how life naturally moves toward growth, order, and connection. Think of a seed becoming a tree, or the way gravity pulls things together—this is Syntropy in action.
It’s often described as the compliment of Entropy, which is the tendency for things to break down, scatter, and move toward disorder. These two forces—Syntropy and Entropy—are like the universe’s push and pull, working together in a dynamic balance. You could think of them like a Western version of Yin and Yang.
While science has long focused on Entropy to explain how the world works, Syntropy gives us a language to understand how life grows, evolves, and becomes more complex over time.
Syntropy helps explain why we feel called to certain paths or pulled toward aliveness. It invites us to live in tune with life’s natural movement—toward connection, regeneration, and meaning.

Let’s talk practically for a moment. From ecological collapse to individual isolation, Syntropic Farming is a panacea. It simultaneously addresses food sovereignty, top-soil loss, climate change, biodiverse reforestation, community cohesion, environmental toxification, the meaning crisis, nutritional deficiencies - the list goes on.
But as you might be starting to gather already, this is more than just a simple farming method. It's a way of being, of opening up to have faith in Life and the Universe - inside ourselves, others and Nature.
It’s a scientific call for reconnection with Life.
We all have a natural ability, desire, and role to play on Earth: to cooperate, converge, collaborate, grow, thrive, fruit, nourish, and feed the greater experience that is all of Life.
Syntropy is nothing short of an opening into a world of abundance for self, others and the greater home that we call Earth.
In the spirit of syntropy, we need to work together to make this happen. Please help us make this film a reality by making a contribution, joining our community subscription and spreading the good syntropic word! And all going well, we will have the documentary feature length film finished by the end of 2025.
