OUR SOLUTION

Food Forest Network is investing in women to solve hunger and build a sustainable future. Together, we can elevate women, nourish communities, and restore ecosystems.

Elevating Women

We position women as central agents of change in their communities by helping them establish farming collectives.

Community Resource Centers enable collective members to collaboratively process and sell crops.

We connect the collectives with businesses that are committed to equitable sourcing, and we facilitate profitable, ongoing contracts.

Nourishing Communities

In collaboration with our on-the-ground partners, we provide women with the resources they need to plant nourishing, self-sustaining food forests.

Restoring Ecosystems

We take immediate, grassroots action to mitigate climate change by helping women actively restore degraded lands, cultivate resilient, sustainable food systems, and lead local efforts toward adaptation.
