On the way to the era of food forests
We're giving our generation the power to turn Europe into a mosaic of food forests — regenerative ecosystems that bring together people, wildlife and plants.
Thinking about training in food forest design?
We're running a Q&A webinar — Thursday 3 September, 8pm CEST — to answer all your questions about the next edition of the program, starting in October. Curriculum, pace, real client project, career paths — it's the moment to talk it through together. The program (and this registration form) is in French — register and you'll receive your Zoom link to join.
