Empowering people to create biodiverse Mini Food Forests

What is the
Biggest Mini Forest?

It is a simple and sustainable way to create your own biodiverse Food Forests, following a unique method designed to:

Grow up to 10x faster than conventional tree planting methods, all without chemicals.
Be easy for anyone to start with a standard 3x3 meter module.
Produce food for years, benefiting you, your community, and nature.
Allow you to start small and expand at your own pace by adding more plots over time.

It’s all about empowering people, communities, and organizations to grow food and contribute to regenerating the planet!

Read more about our story

Since May 2023, the Biggest Mini Forest movement has helped plant over 72 Mini Food Forests across Portugal and Spain.

Our mission is to empower local communities to regenerate land, grow food, and restore biodiversity using a practical, replicable method rooted in agroecology, permaculture food forests, syntropic agriculture, and the Miyawaki method.

Whether you're planting in cities, schools, farms, or public spaces, our approach adapts to local ecosystems and real-life community needs. That’s what drives us to create impact!
