@cyrusp100 :
Yeh i agree there are carbohydrates produced in a food forest. The system is designed well and its what i use in my garden, but considering so much of the world’s city dwelling population doesn’t even own land, the concern is whether there are enough staple carbohydrates to feed everyone. Have a read of Peter Andrews book. Hes a farmer that reversed drought on his land in Australia. The techniques are permaculture with more financial perspective for farmers
There are lots of perennial sources of carbohydrates that can be integrated into a food forest. Nuts like chestnuts, almonds and macadamias can be ground into flour. There are perennial vegetables as well like sweet potato, artichokes, asparagus etc.
Lots of animals also integrate well into food forests especially chickens and ducks – so eggs and meat would be readily available.
A food forest diet can be interesting, varied and complete.
That sounds like a good idea. I`m sure adjustments can be made to correct some of the small problems. I just love the idea of letting food grow naturally. Less work, free food, you can`t go wrong : )
I’m a fan of them too, but the only limitation i find with them is that they don’t produce enough carbohydrates/ cereals which don’t like trees. i think the food forest on the top 3rd of a hill, with cropping land beneath it, then bottom third for grasslands is perfect. I like the Peter Andrews model for sustainable farming. I couldn’t imagine eating greens, fruit and nuts all day, so the Natural sequence farming is more appealing to me.
A Food Forrest is a perfect way for the new way of living on planet earth : )
someone needs to barter with this guy. He apparently has so much he can’t get to it all. I hope he knows how fortunate he is to have been able to purchase an established food forest. What a gem.
Rememeber the proublem is the solution,if you have fruit flies then you have a chicken deficiency.
What a great vid. Yes, at the end of the vid it says he’s in Mapleton, Qld which is Australia. Visit google maps. Wow… that’s so inpirational. Thank you for posting this. xx
My dream! Beautiful! Where is this, Australia is it?
