About us
Who we are
At the Larios Institute for Farming and Forestry Research (LIFFR), we are a team of advocates dedicated to driving innovation in sustainable farming and forestry. Guided by a shared vision of harmony between humanity and nature, we work tirelessly to develop solutions that address the pressing challenges of climate change, food security, and ecological preservation.
Our team brings together diverse expertise in agronomy, forestry, soil science, technology, and environmental policy to create holistic, science-based approaches that benefit both people and the planet.
We are more than a research institute—we are a movement for change, striving to build a future where ecosystems thrive, and communities flourish. Founded by veterans Adrian and Tosha Larios, visionary leaders with a deep commitment to sustainability and regenerative practices, the Institute is grounded in a legacy of environmental stewardship and community-driven research. With a foundation in cutting-edge science and a heart for grassroots collaboration, we aim to empower individuals and organizations to implement sustainable farming and forestry practices in their regions.
