dynamics to achieve the same goal.
ACCELERATING
SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL REGENERATION
We facilitate the transition of lands to biodiverse, productive and regenerative forestfarms.
Together with local stakeholders and communities, we develop regional resilience, restore ecosystems and foster the wellbeing for all.
WHAT IS AGROFORESTRY?
When food production (agriculture) and timber production (forestry) merge, a new form is created, it is called Agroforestry.
NATURE'S WAY
Agroforestry comes in many different ways; the approach can be very close to conventional agriculture or very close to nature’s principles and processes.
REGENERATIVE AGROFORESTRY
We work with a nature-mimicking, highly regenerative approach, which increases natural capital and improves the overall conditions – it is called Regenerative Agroforestry.
FOREST FARMS
A Forestfarm is what is created with/ for/by a farmer or community using Regenerative Agroforestry.
By 2030 our farmers need to have become stewards of the lands, shepherds of the ecosystems and true champions of climate change!
Abundant, healthy food will be
a mere side-effect of their deep caretaking of Earth.
Our work is to empower these regeneration heroes!
LOCALIZED, RESILIENT SYSTEMS OF LIVING
As we value all forms of life and recognize the dynamic nature of it, we strive to recreate resilience on a local level but interconnected on a bigger scale.
APPROACH & MINDSET
Collaboration with nature requires the acknowledgement of systems, relationships, processes and functions. We create forestfarms in time and space following the principles of syntropy and succession for ever more resilient systems with efficiency in mind.
UNIQUE DEPLOYMENT
We believe in localism and interconnectedness. Regenerating a region has a higher impact than mere project based work. So this way we integrate the local communities and weave systems into the natural environment of a place and culture.
HOLISTIC DESIGN
Regenerative Agroforestry can do way more than produce food or timber. Did you know that we could replace all fossil fuel based materials and grow them in forestfarms? We design beyond food but with the resilience of the local environment and communities in focus.
Impressions from our work
Fieldwork
We work directly with pioneer farmers and in cycling the knowledge with broader audiences.
Stakeholder work
As we are strong believers of consumer networks and local community groups, it is important to facilitate understanding and support both ways.
Corporate supported regeneration work
We engage with companies directly to spark circular economy approaches and active part-taking in regenerative initiatives.
Cooperation's and Partners
We believe in co-creation and this work is big and our vision bold. Our partners are vital for the impact we create and they bring more tools, more skills, more ideas, more hands and most importantly more hearts, to the Soulfood family!
