From Fukuoka to Nepal – food forest lessons learned

Chris Evans

In this episode of the Food Forest Podcast, Chris Evans shares how leaving the UK led him to Nepal, where he encountered permaculture and community forestry in their most grounded, human form. He reflects on the limits of conventional forestry and how the Zazarkot Permaculture Program emerged as a living example of how degraded landscapes can be restored into productive agro-ecosystems. Drawing on experiences from around the world, Chris highlights the power of commitment, connection, and learning by example. The conversation weaves together ecology, culture, and ethics, offering a hopeful vision of a future where governance, land stewardship, and human values align to regenerate both communities and ecosystems.
