Intros Intros Biodiversity & Ecology Biodiversity & Ecology Food Food United States United States

Forest gardens combine fruit and nut trees, shrubs, herbs, vines and perennial vegetables to create low maintenance food production systems. The crops reduce food miles, trees and soil absorb carbon and the forest is resilient to flood and drought. Altogether, a brilliant response to climate change.
