FOOD FOREST FOUNDATION
"Out of Dirt, A Revolution"
What if the answer to poverty, hunger, and climate collapse was right beneath our feet?
We believe that healing the land is the first step to healing everything else.
In the soil, there’s power. In the forest, there’s a future.
This is not a project. It’s a paradigm shift.
At the Food Forest Foundation, our mission is simple:
Out of the dirt, a revolution.
We don’t just plant trees.We grow abundance—layered, living systems that feed families, restore soil, and spark circular economies.
From forgotten land, we grow futures.
From the roots up, we regenerate everything.
Our Impact
We start with planting trees. but our impact reaches farther than that: We regenerate ecosystems, revitalise communities, and build resilient food systems as blueprints for a sustainable future.
Regenerate Ecosystems
At our core is a simple truth: nature doesn’t need saving—it needs space to thrive. Our rejuvenation projects, climate-resilient ecosystems, and on-site research lodge serve as living laboratories for a greener future.
Strengthen Communities
True regeneration starts with people. We work alongside farmers, women’s groups, and youth leaders to create systems of shared knowledge and lasting impact. Partnerships with the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment connect grassroots efforts with national strategies, making change both local and systemic.
Food Security
From reforestation to climate-smart agriculture, including community-led chilli farms, we’re growing more than food—we’re growing hope, with over 50,000 trees planted and regenerative crops flourishing.
What we plant
1
Indigenous Fruit Trees
Replanting local, indigenous fruit trees restores native ecosystems, preserves biodiversity, and creates sustainable and traditional food sources for generations to come.
They also offer economic opportunities through the sale of surplus produce, empowering local farmers and reducing dependency on imported foods.
2
Medicinal Trees
Nature’s healers, these trees offer powerful remedies used in traditional and modern medicine.
They not only support community health by providing accessible, natural treatments for common ailments; but also preserves traditional knowledge, promotes holistic well-being, and protects endangered species.
Medicinal trees offer economic potential through the sustainable harvesting of leaves, bark, and roots for herbal products.
3
Eco-Utility Trees
Eessential for sustainable livelihoods, these trees are grown for timber, fuel, and other materials. They reduce pressure on natural forests by providing renewable resources for construction, carpentry, and energy needs like charcoal, as well as help combat deforestation, support local economies, and promote eco-friendly practices. Their fast growth and adaptability make them a key part of regenerative land management, contributing to both environmental health and community resilience.
