How we work
We facilitate indigenous edible food gardens that use a variety of plants, organic methods and are designed to combine beauty and function.
The NFF provides training to organisations that wish to implement its particular approach. Our gardening model uses a foundation of natural food to create opportunities for related learning, economic, social and research activities using mentors within organisations. We also link to networks, are keen to initiate research projects and have a schools-level educational program we would like to see developed and implemented. The NFF welcomes joint ventures.

Introducing COGS
COGS stands for Circle of Gifts, and is a complementary currency specifically designed to help local communities re-localise activities. The aim of re-localisation is to provide inhabitants with the possibility of an acceptable quality of life when traditional economic development fails, or their circumstances are against them.
