What is a food forest? It's all different types of trees and plants growing together more as you would find them in nature (rather than in an orchard), but substituting types of plants that provide you with food, medicine, etc. along with their other functions. Since food forests are largely made up of perennial food plants (meaning they produce food every year with no replanting and low maintenance once established), they can provide you with lots of food for many years at very little cost. In uncertain times, a food forest could be one of your smartest investments!
Who is Geoff Lawton? Geoff is a top Australian permaculture teacher who has worked and taught in many parts of the world. His experience and knowledge are very evident in the video.
The video is great - very inspiring! It shows how to establish a new food forest, the techniqes used to nuture it in its early stages, and how productive it becomes in a relatively short time.
