A recycler and activist from Oregon, Joshua arrived in Costa Rica almost two decades ago to begin an agroforestry project that has evolved in multiple directions.

It's a location that just sounds like paridise but it hasn't always been that way, and with much of the primary rainforests cleared for intensive agriculture over the decades this is a conversation that's as much about restoring the population, community and livlihoods, as it is about restoring nature.

And what an incredible place to be working with nature. Take 20' of rainfall per year and put it to good use, and instead of devastating errosion you have the most extroidinarily fast growth and abundance.

This is a collaborative agroforestry project with several farms that are building community and self sufficiency alongside the ongoing development of supply chains for a range of value added products. 

Every step of the way Joshua has opened up to working with a wide range of people and continues to do so. His email address is in the description and he welcomes you to get in touch especially if you're regenerating in the tropics.

You can also support this work in Costa Rica through their retail brand Rewild Organics.
