Plants For A Future (PFAF) is an online not for profit resource for those interested in edible and useful plants, with a focus on temperate regions.
Named after the phrase "plans for a future" as wordplay, the organization's emphasis is on perennial plants.
PFAF is a registered educational charity with the following objectives:[1] The Charity’s objectives are to advance the education of the public by the promotion of all aspects of ecologically sustainable vegan-organic horticulture and agriculture with an emphasis on tree, shrub and other perennial species; and the undertaking of research into such horticulture and agriculture, and dissemination of the results of such research.
The database was originally set up by Ken Fern to include 1,500 plants which he had grown on his 28 acre research site in the South West of England.
The organization participates in public discussion by publishing books.
