Forest Garden Program

What does a successful forest garden look like?

It’s not just rows of trees—it’s a living, layered system. You’ll see fruit trees, vegetables, herbs, and shade plants all growing together.

The soil is rich, the ground stays covered, and you’ll notice more birds, insects, and life

In a Forest Garden, trees do more than provide shade and fruit—they actively improve soil health.

Their roots stabilize the land, prevent erosion, and create channels that enhance water infiltration. As leaves and organic matter decompose, they enrich the soil with nutrients, fostering

Training is key to long-term success. As part of our program, we educate local farmers on the Forest Garden approach, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to cultivate and sustain productive, resilient landscapes.

This hands-on training ensures that each farmer can

It all begins and ends with the soil.

Soil is the foundation for growing our trees and food. By integrating regenerative agriculture and agroforestry into farming practices, we reduce deforestation, allow tree roots to take hold, and enrich the soil with nutrients, making it healthier

One of our farmers monitoring the growth of his crops. Thanks to our agroforestry approach, each farmer has enhanced their land to maximize productivity.

Our farmers successfully grow trees alongside their crops by implementing our forest garden approach. By integrating trees, they enhance soil quality and improve water retention, ensuring a more sustainable and productive agricultural environment.

Efficient water management is essential for agroforestry, specially where water scarcity is a challenge. Techniques like rainwater harvesting and drip irrigation support the growth of trees alongside crops, optimizing water use and ensuring the viability of these integrated, sustainable

Farmers learn to maximize the vertical and horizontal space on their land, manage water and pests, build healthy soils and plan for new on-farm enterprises and greater market access.

This is our Forest Garden approach: Farmers plant 2,500 fast-growing trees around the perimeter of their land to create a living fence that protects crops, stabilizes soils, and infiltrates water back into the ground.

A forest garden in full bloom is a testament to sustainable agriculture – where biodiversity and productivity create a green haven.

Global deforestation has been dramatically rising due to industrialized agriculture, harming both the environment and biodiversity. Our Solution: By focusing on the Forest Garden Approach, our farmers are planting thousands of trees per acre, restoring lost forests, and promoting

Koungheul was once a place where fresh vegetables were a luxury. Today, with the help of our project, women not only nourish their families with home-grown produce but also contribute to the local market. Furthermore, their Forest Gardens have become a source of traditional medicinal

Biodiversity is declining with farming, threatening 86% of the species at risk of extinction. Our approach encourages increased plant diversity in Forest Gardens. As these ecosystems flourish, they become sanctuaries for countless species, reversing the trend of biodiversity loss.

The innovative approach of agroforestry intertwines tree planting with crop diversification, offering a dual solution that safeguards the environment while enhancing the livelihoods of farmers. In-depth training programs provide farmers with the necessary skills and knowledge, empowering
