4 months agoThere’s a great agroforestry community in Ecuador (Lumicon) that has a list on their website of over 200 plants that they grow.
Many of them are fruit trees, and it also includes many natural and native species to the region, which is in Napo provence – that’s the Ecuadorian Amazon Jungle.
They’re also a frugivorous vegan community, so you may want to check them out :)
Eco-Libre’s website has a map of vegan intentional communities in Ecuador:
The map shows 11 communities: 7 strictly-vegan plus 4 vegetarian (or mostly-vegetarian) communities. Some of them are clustered together, so it’s hard to see without zooming-in, but the link above has an interactive map and lists all the communities with links to their websites for more info.
Most of them are located in the Amazon and are focused on reforestation or conservation of some kind. Many are raw vegan or high-raw or fruit-based (much of the volunteer work appears to be dedicated to growing fruit tree forests).
