INTRODUCING – ENCOURAGE MORE IDEAS

 

Planting support species which provide soil fertility and mulch on site - grow mulch where you need it.

Maximising winter sunlight and summer shade by strategically planting deciduous and evergreen trees.

Replacing invasive grasses with non- invasive ground covers, preferably ones that improve soil fertility and offer some food value.

Integrating livestock in the system to help minimise work but maximise productivity.

Add ponds and habitat for frogs, lizards and birds for built-in pest control.

Create swales, drains, and other moisture traps to passively harvest water in the landscape.

Create areas that are for your enjoyment such as strategically placed seating or even a swing. Text from the roots, Elisabeth Ferkonia (Aus.) PDC studied with Bill Mollison.

Lesson 1.0 INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE

Image
  FOOD FOREST COURSE AGRO -ECONOMY Lesson 1.0  INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE As the world celebrates International Day of Forests on 21st March, one avenue to explore is the role that food forests can play in providing a rich source of nutrition for humans while enhancing biodiversity and nourishing the  soil . Forests are some of the most  productive , biodiverse and self-sustaining ecosystems on earth. Yet, deforestation, an indicator measured by the  Food Sustainability Index , destroys these rich centres of life at a rate of  10 m hectares per year . Driven by demand for monoculture crops such as  soya  (primarily for livestock feed) and  palm oil  (a widely used ingredient in food-processing and cosmetics), deforestation presents a major problem for forest ecosystems. But what if forests and food production could be reconciled in a novel way? Food forests may be the answer. Human-designed  food forests  differ from conventional forests, which do not provide

LESSON 1.1 INTRODUCING - Strategy for sustainable living.

Image
  FOOD FOREST COURSE AGRO -ECONOMY LESSON 1.1  INTRODUCING - S trategy for sustainable living.   Food Forest gardening is a central practice of Permaculture and is an ecological design strategy for sustainable living. Eco systems such as mature rain forests have a huge number of relationships between its component parts. Trees , understory , ground cover , soil , fungi , insects and animals are an integral part of this system.  Plants grow at different heights and this allows a diverse community of life to grow in a relatively small space.  Plants come into leaf and fruit at different times of year.   Edible forest gardens can mimic the complexity of a mature ecosystem and can offer inspiring and practical information of perennial polycultures and of multipurpose plants in small-scale settings. We can apply the principles of a natural ecology to the design of home gardens that mimic forest ecosystems to grow our food, fuel, fodder, fertiliser, ‘farmaceuticals,’ and f
