Welcome to Berrysmith Foundation.
Feeding the world's burgeoning population is shaping to be one of the greatest challenges facing mankind. Coupled with this is increasing scientific evidence that our traditional food production methods are causing havoc on our environment and ecosystems.
There has to be a better way. It has to be possible to produce healthy nutritious food for all of the world's population - without destroying our environment.
Berrysmith Foundation's aim is to lead the world in the development of sustainable systems that make growing healthy, nutritious food available for virtually everyone - regardless of land availability, climate, soil conditions, location, natural resources or large capital investment.
We believe that New Zealand has the potential to become a global pioneer in the development of such systems, and in doing so, further enhance our international reputation as the premier food producer globally.
