REGENERATION, ROOTED HERE 

Community-led regeneration along the Upper Zambezi

The Food Forest Foundation works alongside communities in Katambora on the Upper Zambezi to build systems that restore land, strengthen livelihoods, and support long-term self-reliance.

 

Our work spans regenerative food systems, education initiatives, creative exchange, and community-owned infrastructure. Everything we build is rooted in place, shaped with community, and designed to endure beyond external support.

HOW THE WORK TAKES ROOT

1

REGENERATIVE FOOD SYSTEMS

At the heart of the work is regenerative agriculture. By rebuilding soil health, integrating trees with crops, and supporting local growers, communities can produce reliable food while restoring the ecosystems that sustain them.

2

EDUCATION & OPPORTUNITY 

Initiatives such as the Food Forest School and creative exchange programs create spaces where children and young people can learn, build confidence and develop practical skills rooted in their own environment.

3

COMMUNITY OWNED PROJECTS

Long-term initiatives like the Zambezi River Trail support local enterprise and conservation at the same time, distributing opportunity across communities while protecting the landscape.

THREE WAYS TO ENGAGE

1

VISIT OR VOLUNTEER

Spend time on the ground in Katambora and experience the work firsthand. Volunteers support initiatives across regenerative food systems, education programs, and community projects while learning directly from the people shaping them.

2

We collaborate with organisations seeking meaningful partnerships rooted in real environmental and social impact. From restoration initiatives to storytelling and environmental accountability, partnerships help expand the reach and credibility of the work.

3

REGENERATIVE FOOD SYSTEMS

Investments support the infrastructure and enterprises that allow communities to sustain this work independently. This includes regenerative food systems, education initiatives, and projects such as the Zambezi River Trail.
