Reforesting Edible Forests

🧭 Introduction to the Metaproblem

The Amazon rainforest—one of Earth’s most vital ecosystems—is under constant threat from deforestation, extraction, and climate breakdown. As biodiversity declines and traditional food systems erode, Indigenous and local communities face both environmental and nutritional instability. We need reforestation models that protect ecosystems and sustain people.

🌍 Core Problem in the Bioregion

In the Ecuadorian Amazon, local communities are grappling with increasing deforestation, diminishing biodiversity, and weakened food security. Conventional reforestation projects often ignore the needs of Indigenous families—failing to provide meaningful livelihood opportunities or long-term ecological balance.

💡 Proposed Solution

The Reforesting Edible Forests initiative is reimagining Amazonian regeneration by planting at least 500,000 non-timber trees and edible plants—co-designed with and for local communities.

In collaboration with Fundación Pachamama and supported by Reforest’Action, this project:

• Plants native, non-timber species that support both biodiversity and food production
• Strengthens food sovereignty and sustainable nutrition for Indigenous families
• Restores degraded forest areas through community-led stewardship
• Ensures ongoing technical guidance and monitoring to support forest resilience

This is reforestation that feeds people, protects ecosystems, and honors ancestral wisdom.

🌱 What Makes it Unique

🌿 Edible Forests, Not Timber Farms – Trees planted provide fruits, nuts, and plants that nourish local communities
🤝 Community Collaboration – Every step is guided by Amazonian families and grounded in Indigenous knowledge
📈 Verified Monitoring – With support from Fundación Pachamama, the project is scientifically tracked and sustained
🌍 Holistic Impact – Combines ecological restoration with food security, cultural preservation, and climate resilience

This is regeneration with roots—literal and cultural.
