Antwerp, Belgium
What it is
AgroForest Designer is web software for laying out food forests and other layered planting systems. Users can draw site boundaries over map, satellite, combined, or orthomap views, then add features, planting zones, and paths. Its public plant database can be filtered by growing conditions and includes reusable recipes, cultivars, and personal plant records. The plan generator produces an editable proposal based on a recipe, planting area, density, objectives, and a design horizon of 1, 5, 10, or 20 years. Other tools show sun paths and indicative shade, elevation contours, distance and area measurements, and harvest periods. Professional workflows include technical drawings, plan sharing, QGIS workflows, and selected GeoJSON, project-data, and 3D model exports. Shade is an estimate that excludes terrain and objects outside the plan, so critical conditions need on-site verification. The free plan allows one project; paid plans start at €14.99/mo. Pro is €24.99 per month and Max is €49.99 per month.
