We depend on donations from users of our database of over 8000 edible and useful plants to keep making it available free of charge and to further extend and improve it. In recent months donations are down, and we are spending more than we receive. Please give what you can to keep PFAF properly funded. More >>>

Support Us

 Your support allows us to develop and maintain our website and database. Please make a donation or buy one or more of our products.

Research is on going since much of the information on plant uses has been lost from every day life but is stored in books and research papers. We have collated this information in a more accessible way, in the form of a database, which currently consists of nearly 7,000 species of plants.

We also encourage our users to examine plant data and comment where appropriate, via the Forum, Blog or Facebook.


We are constantly on the look out for new sources of useful plants, particularly from those people who travel to or live in other temperate zones. Please contact us if you feel you might be willing to help. It does not require botanical knowledge, just a willingness to search out sources of seed in that area.

Now available: PLANTS FOR YOUR FOOD FOREST: 500 Plants for Temperate Food Forests and Permaculture Gardens.

An important new book from PFAF. It focuses on the attributes of plants suitable for food forests, what each can contribute to a food forest ecosystem, including carbon sequestration, and the kinds of foods they yield. The book suggests that community and small-scale food forests can provide a real alternative to intensive industrialised agriculture, and help to combat the many inter-related environmental crises that threaten the very future of life on Earth.
