The Foundation's goal is to help reforest tropical areas with trees that produce edible fruit, in order to feed people while benefiting the environment. We'll improve diets in tropical countries, and reduce dependency on imported foods and agro chemicals.

 

Many tropical species of trees produce edible fruit. It is our mission to supply as many individuals as possible with the best varieties of these plants, while being sensitive to the environment. We will avoid trees that are invasive or tend to degrade the soil or its moisture content. We will focus on plants that require minimal use of fertilizers and agricultural chemicals. Our intent is to supply trees for planting in small farms, field margins and urban backyards. We will also work with commercial orchards to that end.

 

Our purpose is to help supply additional food to needy communities using fruit bearing trees, and increase food to supplement crop production and imported grains. We will assist subsistence farmers in transforming their fields into agro-forests where required. We will also encourage shade tolerant trees growing under canopies of larger trees, all bearing fruit, for example, cocoa or coffee growing in the shade of the breadfruit tree.
