RE: My personal experience at a food forest: this is an ecosystem at its best

in #nature7 years ago

I love it! We just started a humungous food forest in my home town of Atlanta. I was recently in Colombia and got to experience a natural food forest. I could literally walk around and eat as many mangos and coconuts as I liked. Imagine a world filled with healthy food accessible to everyone. Where people would plant kale in spinach in front of there houses instead of grass. Where you could stop anywhere you like and have a fresh apple, pear or orange. That's the world I want to live in.

In fact, building such a world should not be that difficult. There are so many public parks where there should be an abundance of food. Once such a park is created, there is certainly not more work than is currently the case. Unfortunately, we are increasingly lacking in knowledge and bold ideas. We only eat the species that are easy to grow through industrial agriculture.
