We are thrilled to share with you the final version of the Monte do Seixo project! This 450-hectare estate, located near Castro Verde, is dedicated to the breeding of sheep, goats, and cows, and hopefully will incorporate our P.E.A.R. mainframe structure to ensure that the livestock farming continues to thrive in a regenerative and integrated […]
One of the key principles of regenerative agriculture is rotational grazing, which involves moving livestock between different areas of pasture to allow for rest and regrowth. But what if we could take it a step further and integrate it with another regenerative practice: keyline swales? By rotating grazing between these swales, we can promote soil […]
First Workshop of the Farmers’ Research Group of the Regenerative Pastures Project A group of motivated farmers discuss the doubts that keyline or directed grazing methods can raise. Together, and with the help of the facilitation team, they also analyzed and decided which farms they would like to visit to better understand these techniques in […]
We had the pleasure of participating in the launch of the “Regenerative Pastures” project yesterday in Castro Verde! This exciting initiative focuses on the regeneration of pastures, promoting the ecological balance and biodiversity of the region. As proponents of regenerative design, we are thrilled to be involved in this important project and look forward to […]
We are absolutely delighted to share the news of the successful delivery of the Terramay farm project, revisited and redesigned by our exceptional team at Terracrua Design. It was an honor to work alongside the family De Brito and Thomas Sterchi to bring a fresh and innovative approach to cattle management and water design. The […]
Regenerative Farm Design Workshop, what is it? Terracrua Design presents a new formation workshop for 2021, a 5-day intensive course where participants will learn how to use all available tools to plan, implement and maintain their farm idea or project. This of course, in a regenerative approach, within the frameworks of regenerative agriculture, permaculture, keyline […]
Holistic management is a comprehensive approach to managing grasslands, livestock, and water resources that focuses on the interrelationships between these components. Developed by Allan Savory, a biologist and farmer from Zimbabwe, the system has been adopted by ranchers and farmers worldwide as a regenerative and effective way to manage their land and livestock. One of […]
Regenerative Design at Herdade do Nicolau: A Holistic Approach to Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry The Nicolau estate, located in the Guadiana River watershed, on a strip of land between this great river and Chança, is a typical reflection of the landscapes of the left bank of the Guadiana: a landscape dominated by holm oak and […]
Recently, our team had the pleasure of conducting a technical visit to two farms in the Avis region of Portugal. Our goal was to explore the potential for regenerative agriculture and holistic livestock management practices in these unique landscapes. At Terracrua Design, we believe that regenerative agriculture can be a powerful tool for restoring ecological […]
