The Food For Trees partnership was launched in February 2008 and celebrates the food industry's commitment to the environment through investment in Yarra4Life.

Food For Trees has attracted interest from restaurant and cafe owners throughout Melbourne to revegetate part of Yarra4Life in the Yarra Valley, an important economic and produce area, while also providing carbon capture benefits to the businesses involved.

The partnership provides those restaurant owners invested in the project the opportunity to 'sell' their businesses as having a serious commitment to the environment.

Some of these establishments include De Bortoli's Winery in the Yarra Valley and Soul Mamas and Grossi Florentini's in Bourke Street Melbourne, where the launch of the event occurred.

The Food For Trees business model works for the restaurant industry and can equally apply to other outlet based industries.

Yarra4Life is proud to have an ongoing partnership with Food For Trees
