Educate | Propagate | Inspire

Ecosystem Solution Institute

Our Mission is to develop and oversee programs of education, propagation, and inspiration for transitioning under-utilized land into edible biodiversity conservation areas. Over time, we expect the Institute’s framework to evolve so that, while community tree planting remains a central pillar, we can also support other forms of community-based biodiversity conservation and food security.

About
Ecosystem Solution Institute
The Ecosystem Solution Institute (ESI) is a CRA-registered charity that helps communities transform under-utilized land into edible biodiversity conservation areas that strengthen food security and resilience.We combine research and propagation of climate-adapted food plants with step-by-step education and on-the-ground action: community tree sponsorships, cost-shared edible education sites in schools and public spaces, and hands-on support through workshops, work bees, and mobile learning programs. We track results in a living database to improve what we plant and teach over time. Our work is anchored by the Edible Biodiversity Conservation Area and extended through tree sponsorship programs and events where we highlight planting opportunities and inspires stewardship in communities anywhere.
