Educating younger generations about their role as guardians of biodiversity.

Vision
Enabling communities to develop their food self-sufficiency by creating food forest, which give them access to biodiverse, healthy food free from chemicals.
Assignment
Creating permaculture spaces that are resilient to climate change, in order to promote the food and economic self-sufficiency necessary for the maintenance and stability of current and future societies.
Value
Working with communities to restore a strong connection with nature through permaculture spaces, which naturally promote psychological, emotional and physical well-being.
Our Commitments
We are two former teachers with a passion for nature who chose to change our lives, settling in the countryside to live in harmony with the Earth. Surrounded by rich biodiversity, we produce our own food while preserving the ecosystem that sustains us.
Our goal: to show that everyone can create a small green oasis—in the city or the countryside—and contribute to local food self-sufficiency. Inspired by permaculture, we believe that a change in the agricultural model is essential to protect soils, biodiversity, and future generations.
We are taking action to encourage sustainable practices that empower communities to eat healthily while taking care of the planet.
