  1. A food forest is a diverse, self-sustaining ecosystem that grows food by working with nature. At GYM , our vision is to establish a food forest once we secure funding for land. It will increase harvests, restore biodiversity, and provide hands-on training in regenerative agriculture for more young people and communities.

  5. How to make a potted #FoodForest for small spaces | DIY Garden Projects | #GardeningAustralia

    Oct 18, 2022

    "Hannah creates potted productive plant combinations, to show how you can have a food forest in a small space.

    "A food forest aims to have all plants on a site working together. The classic model has seven layers: #CanopyLayer (large fruit trees), #understorey (smaller nut and fruit trees), #shrubs (berries and large perennials), #herbaceous (herbs and plants), #rhizosphere (root crops), #groundcover (clover and strawberries) and #vines (climbing beans, peas etc.).

    If you have a small garden or live in an apartment, this can seem a bit overwhelming! But it is possible to follow the same basic principles using pots."

    Featured Plants:
    Rosemary - Salvia rosmarinus cv.
    Garlic Chives - Allium tuberosum
    Creeping Thyme - Thymus cv.
    Dwarf Avocado - Persea americana cv.
    Calendula - Calendula officinalis
    Strawberry - Fragaria x ananassa cv.
    Tea Plant - Camellia sinensis
    Native Ginger - Alpinia caerulea
    Mountain Pepper - Tasmannia lanceolata

  11. Lost a small branch on this Bacon avocado this week- almost 100 young fruits down with it. 🥑💔
    It broke under its own weight, right at a weak crotch angle. Hard reminder that pruning isn't just for shape- it's what keeps limbs strong enough to actually hold a full harvest.
    Painful one to learn, but noted for next season!

    (All those were his words)

    I shared it from my friend James

  16. 🌿🎓 Een leerzame dag in het voedselbos!

    Gisteren mochten we met veel plezier studenten van Wageningen University verwelkomen in ons voedselbos in de Haverleij!

    Ze kwamen om te onderzoeken hoe natuurlijke systemen werken, de onderlinge verbanden tussen planten, dieren en de bodem te ontdekken en meer te leren over het belang van biodiversiteit.

    Er waren volop vragen, en onze voedselbosexpert @iwein stond klaar om ze allemaal te beantwoorden! 😊 Van hoe verschillende soorten elkaar ondersteunen tot hoe een voedselbos zich kan ontwikkelen tot een gezond en divers ecosysteem: de studenten leerden rechtstreeks van iemand met praktijkervaring.

    Tijdens hun bezoek kregen ze ook een rondleiding door het hele voedselbos en waren ze enthousiast om de bijen, paddenstoelen, struiken, proefvakken, waterputten, diverse boomsoorten en meer te zien.

    Het was een prachtige ervaring om hun nieuwsgierigheid te voeden en te genieten van de gesprekken en het enthousiasme terwijl ze het bos verkenden.

  22. 🌲🌲🫁 That fresh pine smell? Trees are fighting for you too.

    Trees release chemicals called phytoncides 🧪⚗️🧴including alpha-pinene and limonene. Research by Dr. Qing Li found that forest exposure can reduce stress hormones and increase natural killer (NK) cell activity.

    A forest walk isn’t just peaceful. It may be good for your body too. 🌳💚

  25. 🌱 We’ve been updating you on the cow dung we’re preparing to use at our farm. Today, we were lucky to collect it, and we hope to transport it to the farm tomorrow morning. Soon, we’ll use it in the holes where we’ll plant bananas. 🍌

    We’d love your advice: what’s the best way to use cow dung to preserve soil fertility and benefit the plants? Please share your knowledge in the comments. 🙏🌍

  30. Spotlight - #GreenYouthMovement

    "Imagine a family that struggles to afford enough nutritious food for their children. Through the Green Youth Movement, they gain access to practical #training, #seedlings, and a local #DemonstrationFarm that teaches them how to grow diverse, healthy food on their own land. What begins as a garden leads to better nutrition, lower food costs, new income opportunities, and a healthier future for their children.

    Green Youth Movement exists to help families move from food insecurity to self-sufficiency by empowering local youth to restore the land, grow food, and share knowledge throughout their communities.

    A $16,000 investment will secure three acres of land in #Uganda that will become a demonstration farm, #FoodForest nursery, and community education center. Rather than funding a one-time project, donors will help create a replicable model that trains local volunteers, improves #FoodSecurity, restores #SoilHealth, and lays the foundation for long-term community-led growth."

    Green Youth Movement's first Call to Action meeting in July 2026. Agenda includes an introduction by the founder, Phocit Mugisha, and an explanation of the program.

  38. 🌾 Climate change is becoming a food security crisis. Heatwaves and drought are damaging crops across Europe, reducing harvests and threatening livelihoods. When food production falls, prices rise.

    🌳 We need climate-resilient food systems now: regenerative agriculture, agroforestry and food forests in gardens, parks and unused land. Food security is everyone’s responsibility. The time to prepare is before the shelves are empty. 🌍🌱

    #FoodSecurity #ClimateResilience #FoodForest

    Urgent action now.
