what is living forests?

Living Forests is a permaculture-based food forest that is alive & kicking, living... biodiverse, complete with its �ora & fauna... so living in a Living Forest is what we wish to!!

We have a vision and we have taken this path, to create living forests across India, with small communities who share the vision to live a life in a biodiverse natural (manmade) forest, which has an abundance of food, water, and environmental

sustainability. Naturally grown food, with zero or no external input, using permaculture and regenerative agroforestry approach. A place you would love to call home, your �rst, or your weekend holiday home... a forest that gives you more

than you can consume, which can then be shared with the world around us, generating surplus which can self-sustain the collective without adding additional resources and down a few years surplus income for the community.

A village, a community, a nukkad, a chowpal... a community kitchen, a yoga center, a permaculture learning center, a cottage industry of various forested products, cycling tracks, A2 Dairy, a "work from forest" space, all with a backdrop of

sustainability in mind, modern living, village-style... going back to the roots!!

The future of living is in communities, the uncertainties of Food (adulteration), Water (availability & contamination), Environmental (air pollution & noise), Economic & Health crisis is an opportunity to create and transition to an alternative

lifestyle that is in sync with nature and sustainability. We are creating one, come be a part of this amazing, upcoming community. Connect with nature & its elements.

We are building our �rst Collective (Aravali Anant Gram) close to Delhi NCR towards Jaipur Highway, currently looking for our seed-community of the �rst 25 members.

who is this for?

do you often think of climate change and sustainable living choices, away from pollution?

you wish you could change your lifestyle towards healthy living and clean environment

you dream of owing a farm someday, where you would live and spend time...

...in the midst of nature, waking up to the chirping of birds

harvesting your own, naturally grown fresh fruits and vegetables...

living in a community with similar ideas and thoughts!!

you also believe in community living as the future of living... a village style setup...without the unwanted adulteration, organically grown

a community committed to minimise the environmental impact, living responsibly?

did you know?

“A 0.4% increase in soil carbon content in all agricultural land onearth will completely neutralise all carbon emissions of the last 50years. The solution to global warming is literally beneath our feet.

It’s good soil. That is the task of our generation”

our thinking of a collective!!

sensible use and management of resources like water, energy... food etc...

minimise our foot print, reduce pressure on Mother Earth, thereby letting it regenrate

going back to old style living, like living in villages, without drastically altering our lifestyle

building a cohesive community for sustainable and responsible living

managed as a single farm, expenses, revenue, P&L...

setting up the farm takes time, let Mother Nature take root, 4-5 year life cycle

designed in a manner utilising resources, water, energy, farm, living spaces collectively

the whole community involved in decision and framing rules

living forest manages the farm, for the next twenty years on 50-50 produce sharing basis

homes in clusters or on individual farms (minimum cluster of three)
