IngaFoundation - Restoring Land – Sinking Cabon – Transforming Lives – Saving Rainforest

Slash and burn farming is rapidly destroying the world’s remaining rainforests and sending vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Yet for more than 250 million farmers across the world, it is the only way they can survive.

Through implementing Inga Alley Cropping – the sustainable alternative to slash and burn – we can change this. By supporting farmers to take up this technique, the Inga Foundation gives them the ability to feed their families and improve their livelihoods, whilst keeping the rainforest and its rich biodiversity intact.

So if you agree with us that it’s time to stop the destructive practice of slash and burn, for the sake of families and forest alike, then please help us bring it to an end...

  • Some Inga alleys on the small scale. Out of all of the biomass system trials I've put together, it's probably the most successful.

    • Mmm inga. One of my favorite treats when I lived in Central America. They used to grow it between the rows of the local cacao farm.
