Nepantla · Tierra Viva

Ancestral regeneration of the soil. Uniting wisdom and resistance to co-create abundance and reconnect with the web of life.

What is Nepantla?

Nepantla Tierra Viva is a project for the regeneration of the land and ancestral practices and knowledge that generate abundance.

It is a space, a dream, where through research, sharing, and collaborative learning, we create strategies and practices to regenerate the fertility of the earth and reconnect with it.

We begin from the understanding that the land is a complex and living assembly of human and more-than-human forces, and is the spiritual, cultural, political, economic, and social foundation of our territories. We reaffirm the principle that we not only continue to need Land for People, but we also need People for the Land.

Soil Microbiome

To obtain the nutrients they need, plants have developed a series of intimate relationships with microorganisms found in the soil. These microorganisms, about which we still know very little, weave a complex web of relationships that makes the soil fertile.

Microscopy and Amendments

We perform microbiological analyses and biological amendments, as well as support individuals, groups, and communities seeking training in these strategies. We learn from each territory, from each land with its broad range of specificities.

Gardens of Abundance

Over millennia, in a longer period of time than we are used to thinking, through very sophisticated and specific knowledge, anchored to each territory and often with a great amount of human labor, the peoples of this continent generated what we call here Gardens of Abundance.
