"It is the diversity of life that makes us who we are and sets our boundaries. It is the level of pain we suffer and accept that breaks our boundaries down. For pain is the giver of freedom to self, the gift of which is a more diverse life". James Brett

James is the Founder of Plant for Peace, a global initiative aimed at bringing sustainable stability to countries crippled by conflict by the creation of horticultural cooperatives. It’s a remarkable initiative currently focused on Afghanistan, where James has singlehandedly hosted 7 tribal Elder gatherings addressing approximately 55,000 Elders convincing the entire farming community of Afghanistan to join Plant for Peace as a positive alternative livelihood subject to necessary support.
But if James had never set foot in Afghanistan, had never toured this troubled country without a bodyguard, badge or gun his achievements would still be mind-boggling, because his life story is truly astonishing.
It’s a story which includes child abuse by his grandfather, the early tragic death of his mother, his subsequent decline into drug addiction, homelessness, prison, betrayal, violence and mental illness. Ultimately it’s a breath-taking story of recovery, hope, humility and remarkable vision supported by a cast of farmers, academics, multinational food companies, government officials, philanthropists, celebrities, military leaders, royal families and the entire nation of Afghanistan.
