New plantations of carob trees
in Mediterranean region
Earth revival project
Our mission
We’re working to bring new life to dry, abandoned land in Cyprus and Mediterranean region by planting carob trees — hardy local endemic tree. This tree doesn’t just survive the heat it bears wonderful fruits, help rebuild the soil, support biodiversity, and make the land productive again with minimal watering.
We place carob trees at the heart of our multilayer system, interplanting them with native, drought-resilient species like olives, prickly pears, figs, aromatic herbs that thrive in dryland conditions and deliver sustainably healthy food.
We adhere to climate-smart farming principles, using superabsorbent polymers to significantly reduce water consumption and alleviate drought stress in plants.
We’re growing simple food rooted in the traditional Mediterranean diet — carobs, olives, figs, prickly pear, herbs and more. They’re naturally healthy, full of flavour, and kind to our planet.
We restore and reforest land wisely, sustainably, with care for future generations and positive impact.
