Ways We Help
The Focus of Our Efforts
LAND STEWARDSHIP
Since 2016, we have introduced land stewardship techniques and practices to thousands of local, national, and international visitors to create practical and global awareness about natural resource management and regenerative design. Today, we are a critical local resource inspiring regenerative land management in Costa Rica. Our goal: to become an internationally recognized resource for change.
Education
Since our inception, we have offered free education to the local community and discounted education to a broad audience of domestic and international students. Our scholarships provide the opportunity for underprivileged individuals who wish to advance careers in sustainable design and regenerative agriculture. The result: 53,000 introductions to sustainable design as of January 2024. And we’re just getting started.
Regenerative Agriculture
Our model, the regenerative farm, employs permaculture design practices that provide community members, students, and visitors with simple, affordable approaches that they can replicate, modify, and experiment with at home and in their neighborhood. Our work is to engage and inspire to revolutionize small-scale regenerative agriculture, to promote food security practices around the world.
