Plants For A Future (PFAF) is an online not for profit resource for those interested in edible and useful plants, with a focus on temperate regions. The organization's emphasis is on perennial plants, named after the phrase "plans for a future" as wordplay. PFAF is a registered educational charity with the following objectives: The Charity’s objectives are to advance the education of the public by the promotion of all aspects of ecologically sustainable vegan-organic horticulture and agriculture with an emphasis on tree, shrub and other perennial species; and the undertaking of research into such horticulture and agriculture, and dissemination of the results of such research. The website contains an online database of over 8000 plants: 7000 that can be grown in temperate regions including in the UK, and 1000 plants for tropical situations. The database was originally set up by Ken Fern to include 1,500 plants which he had grown on his 28 acre research site in the South West of England. Since 2008, the database has been maintained by the database administrator employed by the Plants For A Future Charity.
