Learn to grow your own food forest
Discover the food forest, immerse yourself with those who bring it to life, shape your own project or feed your trade: four short, accessible ways to train.
Between the "wow" moment after reading a book and the first abundant harvests, there are a few steps. We're here to walk through them with you.
Our trainers in design, permaculture and ecology share practical keys to build a project aligned with your vision, with a realistic phasing plan and plenty of advice for a successful planting. You'll leave with concrete skills and a regenerative vision.
Train with the Academy
The Academy is reshaping itself for 2027 around four short, accessible formats — a discovery week, two-day immersions, courses for garden professionals and the residential Focus week. New offers open on the French pages first; the Focus week is bookable now.
What about the food forest designer program?
The 2026-2027 edition will not take place. We explain why, numbers included, in an open letter (in French) — because this decision deserves better than silence.
Read the letter (FR) →Grafting, pruning, composting, natural ponds, visits… Since 2023, the Academy also lives through the seasons. (Most one-off workshops are in French.)

Four formats, one way of doing things: you learn in real, living places, alongside people who practise — and you leave with concrete keys, not just ideas.
- 01 Days in the field, in living places
- 02 A real scientific grounding: understand before acting
- 03 Encounters with people who practise
- 04 Human-scale groups, made for real exchanges
- 05 Joy and the drive to act, as much as lucidity
- 06 Concrete keys for your place or your trade
What stays with them
I've rarely felt I got so much out of a training, both in intensity and quality.
I came back from it deeply energised! This new world of edible food forests feels like a natural continuation of permaculture. A powerful, high-quality training — I can only recommend it.
