What is a Food Forest?
Food forests offer efficient nutrient cycling. They are 'self-fertilizing' through by using plants that are nitrogen-fixing, plants that raise nutrients from the subsoil, plants that attract predators of pests, and plants that reduce disease problems. Diversity is key, as high diversity almost always increases ecosystem health.
These perrenial food gardens strive to mimic the architecture and beneficial relationships of a natural forest ecosystem. A way of growing food that also focus on regenerating the health of the local ecosystem.
