Meet Shihab Kunhahammed, a visionary farmer transforming landscapes across India, one fruit tree at a time. With over 50,000 trees planted, 100+ Miyawaki forest zones, and 300+ acres of land rejuvenated, his mission is to restore ecosystems through food forests and biodiversity.

Originally from Kerala and now based in Hosur (Tamil Nadu), Shihab has conducted over 50 workshops, sharing his expertise in sustainable agriculture, water conservation, and native species restoration. The engineer-turned agriculturist also focuses on market access for farmers through initiatives like Magnifera, a mango festival held in June, reflecting his belief that farmers must connect with consumers and diversify their income streams to sustain their work.
