What is Syntropic Farming
Mimicking the forest
The principles of syntropic farming allow farmers to imitate natural regeneration processes of forests resulting in a dynamic and successional ecosystem.
Plant according to strata and succession
Planting this way will enable the plot to fully optimize sunlight and enhance synergistic relationships between the different species and the soil.
Keeping soil covered at all times
This step will help in retaining moisture and regulating the soil’s temperature which is essential for its health.
Maximizing photosynthesis by planting densely
More plants means more absorption of sunlight which will help the soil to regenerate faster.

Support Orang Asli Farmers
Regenerative farming is a method of farming that revitalizes the ecosystem and regenerates the soil. This, in turn, promotes healthy soil, economic empowerment and a sustainable ecosystem.
You can support Orang Asli farmers by purchasing their fresh produce from Kebun Amai! This ensures that their produce does not go to waste and helps the farmers to develop economic empowerment.
To ensure that you receive the freshest produce, we currently only deliver/do pick-ups within Klang Valley.
However, if you live outside of Klang Valley and would like to place a large order, please contact us directly!
