Waldgarten – project for sustainable foodproduction

We are building a large FoodForest near Berlin,
and we aim to spread the idea throughout Europe.

Our association, Sarsarale e.V., already supports a Permafoodforest in Senegal, SubSahara-Africa, and it works wonderfully – with nature, not against it!
FoodForests are known for many decades
that they bring back a rich biodiversity in agriculture,
fix CO² in the soil, stop erosion and counteract water scarcity.

We will show that FoodForests can feed the world.
Existing FoofForests are durable, but small – we are scaling this up now.
First, we will build a large FoodForest, accompanied by a CSA to show that it is possible to ensure sustainable food production AND be economically viable. CSA stands for community based agriculture, meaning that the harvest is shared between the members whose contribution supports the farmer’s livelihood),

Then, with the help of documentation and scientific evaluation,
we want to collect realistic yield figures.
We will develop tutorials to build up this system.
With these tutorials and realistic yield figures, we will convince farmers
to produce healthy food in tune with nature.

We want to bring a sustainable change in land use,
and food production
for the benefit of nature –
for all of us and our grandchildren.
