Who it is for

Who is Suelos Vivos for?

Suelos Vivos is designed for farmers, technicians, farms and projects that want to improve soil fertility, reduce their dependence on external inputs and move towards more regenerative, self-reliant management.

If I am a beginner, can I take part?

Yes. The programme combines clear fundamentals, applied practice and ongoing support. You do not need to know everything before starting, but you do need a genuine interest in applying what you learn.

Does the programme work for organic, conventional or transitioning farms?

Yes. The approach can be applied to organic and conventional farms as well as those in transition. The aim is to improve soil life and make more informed decisions, whatever your starting point.

Do I need to have a professional farm or crop?

Not necessarily. The programme is aimed especially at professional farmers and projects, but it can also be useful for anyone interested in regenerating agricultural soils.

Will these techniques work in my climate, soil or crop?

The principles of biofertility and soil regeneration are universal and applicable in many contexts, but they always need adapting to the climate, soil type, crop, available resources and objectives of each farm.

How the programme works

What makes Suelos Vivos different from a conventional course?

This programme is not just a one-off training. It is a programme of learning, support and community, designed to help you apply what you learn in your own system.

How is the annual programme organised?

The programme combines in-person workshops, online follow-up sessions, digital materials, a private community and personalised support to help you build a roadmap adapted to your farm or project.

What happens between workshops?

Between workshops the process continues through online meetings, practical assignments, answering questions and following each participant's progress.

How does the Suelos Vivos community work?

The community is a private space to share progress, questions, experiences and learning with other participants who are on a similar path.

Do I need to bring soil analyses, samples or information about my farm?

We recommend bringing as much information as possible: photographs, soil or water analyses, management data, crops, recurring problems and objectives. The better we understand your context, the more useful the support will be.

What is a biofactory?

A biofactory is a concept for setting up a space to produce bio-inputs, ferments, microbiological preparations and fertility tools that reduce costs and dependence on external products.

Results

What kind of results can I expect?

The aim is for you to understand your soil better, to build and put into practice a plan to improve fertility, cut unnecessary costs and make better-informed decisions. Concrete results will depend on your starting point, your management and how it is actually applied on each farm.

What if I see no results by the end of the course?

Soil regeneration is a gradual process. The programme is designed to give you tools, follow-up and the judgement to interpret what is happening and adjust management when needed. If you follow the programme, results will come — sometimes quickly and directly, sometimes gradually.

Attendance and format

What if I cannot attend one of the in-person workshops?

If you cannot attend a workshop, we will find the best way for you not to lose the thread of the programme through materials, recordings or online follow-up, depending on the specific conditions of that edition. If you are short of time, we offer two alternatives: booking a personalised advisory service or waiting for the fully online programme.

When will the online edition of Suelos Vivos be available?

An online edition is planned for spring 2027, for those who cannot travel or prefer to follow the programme remotely.

What if I cannot attend a live online session?

Whenever possible, sessions will be recorded or materials provided so you can follow the content even if you could not join live.

How long will I have access to the materials and the community?

Access to materials and community depends on the specific conditions of each edition. For this first edition we are offering lifetime access to the online materials and to the soil regeneration community.

Enrolment and terms

Do I get a certificate at the end of the programme?

Yes, a certificate of participation or completion is planned for those who complete the training according to the established conditions.

Are accommodation, meals or transport included?

In principle, accommodation, meals and transport are not included unless stated otherwise in the specific information for each workshop or edition.

Can I cancel once the programme has started?

Yes, it is possible. Cancellation terms depend on the enrolment format, the deposit and the payment method. We recommend reviewing the specific conditions before confirming your place.

Is instalment payment or financing available?

Yes. Instalment payment and other arrangements are planned depending on the edition and the enrolment conditions. Details are provided before the booking is confirmed.
