A mini-forest covers minimum four thousand trees, one water body or pond for animals, proper drip irrigation system, and a mini nursery to contain the seedlings. We create an environment through trees and water that rekindle the flora and fauna of that area and maintain a life support system for generations. We grow mini forest on Gram-panchayat land and nurture it till its fully sustained, then hand it over to local government or Panchayat. We prefer to grow in rural villages which are around metro cities and towns.

One food forest comprises of minimum 1000 trees, one small waterbody, drip irrigation system with one small vegetable garden area. Also one small temporary hut or mud house for people or care taker to live on the site. This food forest can add to the income of farmers or individuals and also can be the favorite place for children to enjoy and learn from nature. We create food forest on farmers’ and private land by planting fruits, vegetables, and fodder trees.
