Collaborative Design for Agroecological and Community Projects Worldwide
Dreaming of establishing an agricultural, community or eco-tourism project overseas?
Whether you’ve purchased a plot of land in Portugal, Greece, Spain, Thailand or anywhere else – and envision transforming it into a productive, inspiring and regenerative space –
you’ve come to the right place!
At Reforest, we accompany families, landowners and entrepreneurs in the creation of rooted, nature-based projects – combining years of hands-on experience in Israel and abroad, a deep connection to the land, and interdisciplinary knowledge spanning agroecology, landscape design, participatory processes and place-based visioning.

How the Process Works
We begin with a deep exploratory conversation – to understand you, your land and your vision.
From there, we co-design a tailored path forward: from remote consultation and planning to on-site visits or workshop facilitation – depending on your needs, context and timeline.
We offer flexible levels of involvement – from one-off sessions to comprehensive site plans including planting schemes, irrigation layout, infrastructure integration and unique design features.
We integrate participatory group facilitation as a core part of our process – supporting families, communities or stakeholder groups to shape a shared vision and take part in meaningful decision-making throughout the project.
