What is a food forest? How to design your very own food forest
Food forests are a man made forest-based system that produces a yield. As explained in this video, food forests comprise a large diversity of perennial trees and plants designed in guilds and polycultures that support each other through companion planting. These plants are planted over seven layers to maximise their solar gain.
