To create productive coastal farming systems that restore soils, protect shorelines and generate resilient livelihoods. We believe regenerative practices and local market linkages can make coastal communities more food-secure and climate-adaptive. Our work integrates ecological design with practical, locally-maintainable technologies.
Site diagnostics, salinity mapping, raised bed design, living shoreline installation, nursery propagation for halophytes, post-harvest support and market development. Projects are community-led and include long-term capacity building so benefits persist beyond the initial intervention.
Smallholder cooperatives, municipal partners, conservation groups and value-chain buyers. We structure pilots, scale plans and financing pathways to suit local contexts—ensuring projects are financially realistic and ecologically robust.
Coastal agriculture requires careful balancing of productive and restorative objectives. Our method begins with detailed site analysis: tidal patterns, soil electrical conductivity, groundwater depth, sediment stability and local species knowledge. Diagnostics inform a zoned approach where the seaward edge receives tolerant pioneer species and structural plantings to dissipate wave energy. Behind this belt, raised production beds with engineered, low-salinity substrates support higher-value crops. This zoning keeps production safe while regenerating adjacent marine habitats. Over multiple seasons we monitor salinity trends, soil organic matter and crop performance, adapting planting and irrigation strategies so long-term fertility increases while chemical inputs are minimized.
Training programs teach nursery propagation of halophytes and management of living shorelines. By involving local youth and women’s groups in nurseries, we help seed social enterprise and employment. Our post-harvest work focuses on simple preservation and packaging technologies to extend shelf life and reach more remunerative markets. The integrated approach—design, nursery, training, markets—creates resilience at farm and community scales.
