Byron Austin is the founder of Food-Forestry.com, an agroforestry contractor dedicated to growing thriving food forests and helping people reconnect with the natural world. Over the years, he has transformed landscapes of all sizes—small backyards, degraded farmland, and commercial orchards—while converting his family’s 1.5-hectare citrus orchard into a diverse agroforestry system. His expertise has been shaped by working alongside leading practitioners in Brazil, Florida, Costa Rica, and New Zealand.

​

Byron has trained hundreds of people through in-person events and built an online community of agroforestry practitioners from around the world (Food Forest Fellowship). This community shares experiences, hosts weekly live calls, trainings, and group consulting sessions, fostering collective learning and growth. His online content has also reached an audience of over 150K+.

​

His mission is to help people reconnect with their land by growing food and trees in ways that regenerate the earth. Inspired by Ernst Götsch (the creator of Syntropic Agroforestry) and other expert practitioners, Byron’s practical experiences approach set him apart from traditional permaculture and food forest designers.

​

Food-Forestry.com specializes in tailored solutions built on three core pillars: design, installation, and management, serving families, lifestyle properties, and commercial ventures.

 

Guided by values of competitive excellence and unimpeachable character, Byron is dedicated to transforming both lives and landscapes through regenerative practices.
