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.
The Academy is reinventing itself for 2027
A food forest discovery week at Les 4 Sources, two-day immersions with leading practitioners, courses for garden professionals and the Focus week: four short, accessible ways to train, taught in French. Leave your details on the French pages and you'll be the first to know.

What if every village in Europe became a food forest?

We're giving our generation the power to turn Europe into a mosaic of food forests, in response to the challenges of our time.
This transformation gives rise to regenerative ecosystems that bring together people, wildlife and plants, for a deeply positive impact felt throughout our whole being.
Read the manifestoOur food forest is open every day
Twenty ares of food forest, free to walk through at Les Jardins d'ici in Naninne. A big planting is happening in November 2026, and we're forming the local group of volunteers who'll make it happen. No experience required — we show you everything on site.
