Abundant forest foods!

The Amazonian Futures Forest Project will systematically replant depleted areas with a mix of food producing trees and understory plants as well as species prized for lumber and medicines.   The goal is to prioritize plants that produce foods for both humans and animals. Below are some of the key food species we are planting.
