Climate-Smart Fincas helps landowners in the Axarquía turn uncertainty into a clear plan — designing resilient, productive and beautiful fincas for a changing Mediterranean climate. Founded and led by Dr. Felicitas Flörchinger, Mi Campo Vivo brings together permaculture design, soil health and regenerative growing, combining scientific knowledge with decades of hands-on experience.

Their starting point is a question many new finca owners ask: “You’ve bought a finca in the Axarquía — now what?” Because the Mediterranean climate is changing. Summers are getting hotter and longer, water is becoming increasingly precious, and landowners are seeing more intense rainfall, soil degradation, erosion, wildfire risk and biodiversity loss. Mi Campo Vivo’s answer is not to list the problems, but to look at the whole picture — and find ways to work with nature rather than against it.

That means treating a finca as a living, interconnected landscape. Rather than trying to solve one problem at a time, Mi Campo Vivo looks at how everything connects — water, soil, plants, trees, wildlife, people and the land itself — and brings together water resilience, healthy soil, fire-smart design, biodiversity, agroforestry and productive diversity. From capturing and storing rainwater, to building living soil, creating natural firebreaks, encouraging pollinators and wildlife, and combining trees, crops, vegetables and herbs, every element has a role to play.

Through analysis, mapping and careful planning, Mi Campo Vivo creates practical masterplans tailored to individual properties — designs that fit your goals, your budget and your lifestyle, with priority actions and a step-by-step route to implementation. The aim is simple: to help landowners realise the full potential of their land, with nature as their partner.
