Why focus on Food Forests?
Forests tackle the Climate, Biodiversity and Food Crises at the same time, contribute to 27% of climate action by 2030 and are home to 80% of terrestrial biodiversity.

Forests hold 80% of Earth’s biodiversity. Yet, wildlife populations have plunged 69% in 50 years. To combat this, Brainforest and Minvera founded the Foodlab, focusing on market solutions to benefit local communities and promote biodiverse agroforestry.
Do you have a fresh and scalable idea which tackles one (or more) of the following:
using technology to protect and regenerate biodiversity?
monitoring biodiversity positive initiatives?
creating new (or better) infrastructure to implement biodiversity projects at scale?
incentivizing local communities to keep forests standing?
