IT BEGINS WITH THE FOREST

AGROFOREGEN'S MODEL FOR REGENERATIVE AGROFORESTY

 

Aligning Capital with Ecology can restore both.

Agroforegen has created a unique model for conservation, cultivation, and restoration of forests and under-utilized agricultural land.

Agroforegen pairs innovative land access models with high-value, long-term Regenerative Agroforestry crops, producing balanced ecological, economic, and social outcomes.

 

Working in the Watershed

​

The Catskill Mountains of New York are the principal source of New York City's Watershed.

Agroforegen is building a scalable model that protects and restores the land that provides clean water, green jobs, and natural abundance.
