LAND CONVERSION
Architectural landscape design is the first task to do when arriving on a virgin land.
Mix of planting fruit forest and market gardening.
Bioterra invests in land and people.
The land undergoes an architectural design. First of all, 50% of its surface will be reforested. After that, it is time to define where to live, what to plant, where to put the communal areas and so on ? In general, we try to fix the sleeping areas closed to the trees and the crops near to the communal facilities.
After the design, starts two phases:
