INSECTS - Other insects commonly identified as beneficial include:

 

Minute pirate bug*, Big eyed-bug, Assassin bug, Damsel bug, Mealybug destroyer, Soldier beetle, Green lacewing, Syrphid fly, Tachinid fly, Ichneumon wasp and Trichogramma wasp.

*The genus Orius (commonly called minute pirate bug) consists of predatory bugs in the family Anthocoridae (pirate bugs).  Adults are 2-5 mm long and feed mostly on spider mites and thrips.  These predators are common in gardens and landscapes.  They have a fairly painful bite, but are not poisonous.  Some species are raised commercially and sold to growers as a form of biological control.

Green lacewings are insects in the large family Chrysopidae of the order Neuroptera.  There about 85 genera and (differing between sources) 1,300-2,000 species in this widespread group.  Members of the genera Chrysopa and Chrysoperla are very common in North America and Europe; they are very similar and many of their species have been moved from one genus to the other time and again, and in the non-scientific literature assignment to Chrysopa and Chrysoperla can rarely be relied upon.  Since they are the most familiar neuropterids to many people, they are often simply called lacewings.

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 ...
