Our Vision
We envision a world where agriculture and forests coexist in harmony, where food production restores ecosystems, captures carbon, and sustains communities. By advancing climate-smart, regenerative practices, we ensure that local farmers—particularly women and youth—are at the heart of global climate action.
Our Mission
Our mission is to build regenerative, climate-resilient food systems that sustain people and nature. We work with farmers to restore lands, adopt climate-smart practices, and improve food security while cutting emissions. Through agroforestry and fair climate finance, we create models that capture carbon and protect biodiversity.

Mapping our Work
We operate at the nexus of climate action, sustainable agriculture, and community resilience. We work with farming communities by designing nature-based solutions that promote regenerative agriculture, soil restoration, and climate-smart food systems while reducing emissions and protecting ecosystems.

Partnership for impact
We partner with farming communities to expand access to climate finance, carbon-smart agriculture, and investments that build resilience. By advancing fair policies, secure land rights, and food security frameworks, we strengthen governance and create sustainable, climate-ready food systems.

Building Capacity in Innovation
We work towards advancing innovation in sustainable agriculture, regenerative farming, and climate-smart land use. Our efforts focus on building capacity to scale high-integrity, agriculture-based climate and development outcomes that enhance food security, improve soil health, and reduce emissions while benefiting local communities.
What We Do
We combine agroforestry, soil restoration, and circular food systems to create carbon-rich, productive landscapes. Through perennial crops, diverse planting, and climate-smart methods, we protect watersheds, boost soil carbon, and enhance food security. Leveraging AI and satellite tools, we identify high-impact interventions, unlock carbon credits, and build regenerative value chains that provide long-term benefits to communities.
Strengthen
We strengthen sustainable agriculture through policy reforms, secure land rights, and integration into national climate and food security targets
Innovate
We drive large-scale regenerative agriculture using climate-smart practices and community-led models, supported by innovative carbon finance
Empower
We shape agricultural markets and policies while empowering farmers and local communities to lead regenerative, climate-smart transformation
Agriculture is one of Earth’s foundational systems—shaping landscapes, feeding nations, and holding the potential to restore climate balance and sustain life
Sustainable agriculture has the potential to sequester billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, enhance soil health, protect biodiversity, and provide food, water, and livelihoods for billions worldwide

Sustainable Agriculture Policy and
Governance: Seeking Progress
We recognize that outdated agricultural policies often promote land degradation and unsustainable practices. At 400Forests, we work with governments to embed regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, and climate-smart farming in national strategies. We advocate for reforms that prioritize soil health, water conservation, and emissions reduction while securing land rights for smallholder and Indigenous farmers. Our approach aligns agriculture with carbon markets, sustainable food systems, and climate targets, driving nature-positive, low-carbon farming.
ACT TODAY!
The environment we have is not just the space we live in, it is the intricate system of air, water, soil, climate, plants, and animals that makes life possible. Healthy ecosystems regulate the planet’s temperature, purify water, store carbon, pollinate crops, and protect us from natural disasters. But this balance is rapidly being disrupted. Add your Voice!
