Food Forest

Hi everyone today I will talk about the Food Forest. This is a sustainable system based on woodland ecosystems, but incorporating food trees, shrubs, herbs and perennial vegetables which have yields directly useful to humans. These species can intermixed to grow in layer, to build a structure like woodland habitat.

The layers are, from the higher to smallest:  Canopy (large fruit &nut trees), Low three layer (dwarf fruit trees), Shrub layer (currants & berries), Herbaceous (comfreys, beets, herbs), Rhizosphere (root vegetables), Soil surface (ground cover, strawberry, etc) and the Vertical layer (climbers, vines)

This system have a low-maintenance, therefore, is sustainable in the time. Furthermore, provides food and products used on the medicine. In my opinion this system can be used in Chile, on the zones far away the high cities, because required zones without higher deterioration in the start, later the system can be maintenance for yourself.

This system will be good for the people with low resources in the Agricola zones, but use this system in the scientific zone need more investigation.

See you later.
