Plant the future with regenerative syntropic agroforestry systems.
;
;
;We are a non-profit organization dedicated to one overarching aim:
Agriculture in harmony with nature, fostering life!
By incorporating and pollarding long-lived, deep-rooted trees that grow quickly and respond well to pollarding, we promote the health, vigor, and high yield of our crops.
Our most important resource for achieving healthy, thriving crops is knowledge.
By understanding natural processes, we achieve a steady increase in soil fertility and water retention capacity.
Through our global farmer-to-farmer online F4F academy, our goal is to:
- Make this knowledge accessible to farmers and others around the world.
- Exchange practical experiences and techniques between farmers and learn together.
- Bring to life the thought of Cicero (Roman philosopher 106-43 BC): “Farming is the most advanced art developed by mankind.”
Every revolution begins with a good idea. By harnessing the collective intelligence of farmers around the world, Forests4Farming has many!

Where our initiatives are showing results
Acknowledgment to Ernst Götsch
Ernst Götsch, the founder of the syntropic agroforestry concept, has been a great inspiration to us for many years and we are deeply grateful to him for sharing his knowledge generously and openly, an example we seek to apply in our institution. The syntropic farming movement has spread all over the planet and Ernst's work as a farmer and researcher over several decades has created an invaluable philosophical and practical knowledge, which is the basis for our work.
Get Involved
To bring our vision to life, we rely on the empathy and active cooperation of individuals and organizations who believe that supporting our initiative is essential for life on our planet to prosper.
The resilience of global food supply chains depends on 500 million smallholder farmers who produce up to 70% of the world’s food and generate $1.5 trillion annually in key commodities such as cocoa and coffee. To secure their supply chains, companies must invest in strategies that strengthen smallholder resilience and protect natural ecosystems.
We help companies design, implement, and manage syntropic agroforestry projects that restore soil health, improve farmer livelihoods, and safeguard long-term commodity production. These projects enable you to de-risk your supply chain, meet ESG and CSR commitments, and advance your net-zero goals, while ensuring a stable supply of high-quality raw materials.
When farmers prosper, companies prosper. And syntropic agroforestry helps make that future possible.
It is our community of supporters who make our work possible! There are many ways you can help us achieve our goals, whether as an ambassador, a fundraiser, a sponsor, or through voluntary contributions to the F4F Academy. Organizations such as companies or foundations can support us as sponsors, while individuals can offer their skills, such as translation services to help expand access to our educational content.
Your contribution truly makes a difference. If you are willing to support us, please reach out to us.
Introducing F4F Syntropic Agroforestry Academy
F4F Academy is our virtual farmer-to-farmer learning platform dedicated to advancing syntropic agroforestry, a regenerative farming approach inspired by Ernst Götsch that organizes crops into dynamic, multi-strata food-forest systems. The platform empowers farmers worldwide, especially in the Global South, to design and manage thriving tree-based agricultural systems and create production systems that mimic the structure and logic of original forests in the region.
Learners benefit from practical lessons, case studies, and shared field experience from our learning facilitators and peer farmers, gaining the skills to implement regenerative agroforestry systems that restore soil health, increase biodiversity, and improve rural livelihoods.
