| Project: | Jardin de Loncar |
| Location | Africa, Senegal, Casamance |
| Description | Our developing forest garden farm in Senegal is founded on the principles of permaculture. Nestled in a remote and beautiful forest, we are actively cultivating a lush, biodiverse environment filled with native plants and vibrant wildlife.The goal is to create a model for sustainable living where we can demonstrate living in harmony with the land. The environment is exceptionally quiet, offering a deep connection to the sounds and rhythms of nature. This is a place for learning, growth, and the quiet appreciation of a thriving ecosystem. |

| Project: | Babel Food Forest |
| Location | Surinam, South America. Surroundings Kwakoegron in the district of Brokopondo |
| Description |
The project aims to use new approaches to agricultural cultivation through “agroforestry and organic farming”. By abandoning the traditional method of slash-and-burn farming and dealing more carefully with the environment, new job and development opportunities are to be created. Furthermore, through the product processing of the harvested vegetables and fruits, the framework should increase the sales opportunities on the market and thus the profit. Permanent training events in the field of organic farming and in product processing ( for example how to make jam with the harvested fruits, how to make different types of chilisalsas or how to cook or bake with cassava ) are to be organized for residents and employees Various buildings are planned on the project site: a processing building with an integrated kitchen, a greenhouse and tree nursery, a café for guests and residential units for tourists Is to stimulate unemployment and lack of prospects in the Matawai area by helping people to help themselves and to specifically overcome the problems and the lack of development. To plant all kinds of trees, vegetables and spices: cassava, bananas, ginger, turmeric, pepper, cocoa, coffee, papaya bread tree, mango, vanilla, cashew, coconut, jackfruit, noni, neem. |
