Welcome to RootyToot, the social media network designed for genuine connections and meaningful interactions around the shared passion for plants, food forests, syntropic agroforestry, farm-to-plate initiatives, and kai resilience. We are Aotearoa's Green Social Network, focused on helping you dig deeper into the world of sustainable gardening, regenerative farming, and holistic plant care. We believe in fostering a vibrant online community where everyone feels empowered to share their green-thumbed journeys, express their sustainable living values, and discover like-minded individuals dedicated to a thriving planet, particularly within the unique context of New Zealand.

Our Story

RootyToot was founded on the simple idea that social media should be about building real relationships and cultivating a better world, literally. In a world increasingly saturated with fleeting trends and endless scrolling, we saw a need for a platform that prioritizes quality over quantity, and genuine engagement over superficial interactions, especially when it comes to the vital topics of plant cultivation, regenerative agriculture, and food sovereignty here in Aotearoa. We started RootyToot to create a space where conversations about growing food, restoring ecosystems, and building resilient communities matter, where creativity flourishes, and connections deepen among those who truly dig these topics across New Zealand.

Our Mission

Our mission at RootyToot is to provide a user-centric social media experience that champions authenticity, fosters positive communities, and empowers individuals through a plant-concentric lens. We're dedicated to building a platform that's:

  • Authentic: We encourage real identities and honest self-expression, particularly in sharing knowledge and experiences about plants, food systems, and sustainable practices unique to Aotearoa.

  • Community-Focused: We prioritize features that help you connect with people who share your interests and values in food forests, syntropic agroforestry, permaculture, and beyond, with a special emphasis on local insights relevant to New Zealand's diverse climates and ecosystems.

  • Empowering: We want you to feel safe, respected, and heard on RootyToot, whether you're sharing your latest harvest, a design for a new food forest, or discussing strategies for kai resilience in your local area.

  • Innovative: We're constantly working to develop new features that enhance your experience and bring you closer to what you love in the world of plants and sustainable living within New Zealand.
