Domaine de Graux Food Forest
About the project
Domaine de Graux is a historic estate outside Tournai, Belgium - rooted in its origins dating back to 1492 - now reborn as a vibrant centre for regenerative agroecology and sustainable events. It combines biodiverse farms with an emphasis on soil health, circular food systems, and living ecology.
Backed by The Nest Family Office, and guided by pillars of regenerative production, community engagement, and innovation, Domaine de Graux is a hands-on living laboratory: a place to taste, touch, learn, and experience agroecology in action.
Objective
Turn a pasture land with no tree cover into biodiversity hedge, with increased pollinating capacity to support the food forest that had been developed next to it. This natural barrier will also create a natural separation between the agricultural and landscaped parts of the estate, contributing to the enhancement of ecosystem services, adding diversity while regenerating an exhausted agricultural soil.
Impact
By supporting this project, you will directly contribute to the involvement of local communities and local schools, raising opportunities for environmental education. Furthermore, in time, you will also contribute to the maximisation of ecosystem services in the area: soil quality, water infiltration, biodiversity, landscape values and carbon storage.
