Project gateway
Three ways into VSF projects.
RDC is the flagship project network. In Colombia, San Rafael is retained as a documented April 2026 pilot while VSF concentrates current work through Vetiver Colombia. New ideas start with a simple proposal.
Vetiver is a practical grass used around the world to slow runoff, hold soil in place, and make fragile ground easier to manage. Its roots reach 3–5 metres deep — that depth is what holds a hillside through heavy rain.

Each card gives a short summary, why the project matters on the ground, and one clear next step.
Flagship project
RDC
The Congo Basin flagship project. It brings the field work and its learning into one place.
Why it matters
The Congo Basin is VSF's most documented field network — soil recovery, contour planting, and community-led maintenance across multiple sites.
Colombia field record
VSF in Colombia
The Colombia page preserves the San Rafael pilot record and states VSF’s evidence-first current direction through Vetiver Colombia.
Why it matters
It shows how VSF separates a documented pilot from unverified outcomes and future work.
New project ideas
Propose a project
A route for new ideas, local needs, and early-stage projects.
Why it matters
Local sites and new ideas can become real VSF field work. A proposal is how that conversation starts.

If you are here to learn, support, partner, or propose, the next step should be clear.
