Jungle Project - Growing Food Security through Regeneration

Plant. Train. Trade. Transform.

Introduction to the Metaproblem

What is the larger, overarching issue that the project aims to address?

Across the globe, food insecurity, climate change, and soil degradation threaten both human well-being and ecosystem health.
Conventional agriculture often drives deforestation, biodiversity loss, and increases vulnerability to climate impacts - eroding the very systems that sustain life.

To feed future generations, we must move beyond extraction - toward regenerative models that restore balance between people, planet, and prosperity.

Core Problem in the Bioregion

Highlighting the specific challenge in Costa Rica and the tropics

In Costa Rica and across tropical regions, smallholder farmers face:

• Unstable markets and low crop prices
• Declining soil fertility and erosion
• Dependence on monocultures that degrade biodiversity and increase risk
• Limited access to fair, long-term income opportunities

Despite living in some of the world’s most fertile ecosystems, local communities often depend on imported foods, while nutritious local crops like breadfruit remain underutilized.

Proposed Solution

Scaling regenerative agroforestry centered on breadfruit

Jungle Project is building a new model of tropical agriculture - one rooted in regeneration, resilience, and community empowerment.

Our approach integrates:
Planting: Establishing breadfruit-centered agroforestry systems that combine trees, crops, and biodiversity.
Training: Empowering smallholder farmers with hands-on regenerative agriculture education.
Trading: Creating fair market access for breadfruit-based foods and value-added products.

By cultivating breadfruit trees - a climate-resilient superfood - within diverse food forests, the project creates long-term solutions for food security, income generation, and ecosystem restoration.

What Makes It Unique

Why breadfruit and this approach stand out

A single breadfruit tree can feed a family of four for over 75 years, meeting all their carbohydrate needs!
It thrives in droughts, floods, and poor soils - where conventional crops like rice or corn would fail.

Jungle Project’s “Plant–Train–Trade” model ensures that farmers:

• Plant regenerative food forests that restore ecosystems
• Train in best practices, blending traditional wisdom with modern science
• Trade their harvest through fair and transparent value chains

This approach honors ancestral knowledge from Polynesia and tropical regions, while leveraging modern regenerative agriculture and ethical trade to create lasting impact.

“Every breadfruit tree we plant is a seed of resilience - for people, planet, and future generations.”

Why People Should Donate

Your contribution fuels regenerative transformation

Your donation directly supports:
Farmers transitioning to regenerative agroforestry
Breadfruit processing and market development for food sovereignty
