With the price of food going up & warning of coming food shortages all around the world, it’s no surprise more people are opting to start growing their own food. There are so many ways this can be accomplished but the best method of them all is by creating an edible food forest. Here are 5 reasons why you need to be growing an edible food forest:
💚Food forests are sustainable
Food forests have been around for generations & have sustained communities throughout the world, yet they are under threat by modern agriculture. Food forests take a holistic approach to growing food that ensures all of our needs are met: soil health, air quality, biodiversity & productivity are all enhanced together.
💚Food forests can be grown anywhere
Food forests often use a mixture of tall & short plants, plants that are edible & non-edible together. The best part is that there are no set rules as to how big or small your food forest has to be.
💚Food forests require less effort than traditional gardening methods
Creating a food forest is a great way to go off the grid & eliminate your need for fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Food forests are incredibly productive, easy to manage & beautiful to behold – they’re low-input systems that simply work!
💚Food forests imitate nature
Food forests are designed to imitate nature & mimic the best gardening practices found in our native soils and plants. You would be hard-pressed to find a better example of a self-replicating ecosystem than in nature’s forests. Plants, animals & insects are all interdependent on each other for survival, creating a balanced system that results in healthy plants & food for humans too.
💚Food forests bring people together
If you have ever had a garden and have grown your own food, then you know the extreme satisfaction of knowing the meals you get to enjoy were produced by you, & what better feeling than to get to share that with those around you?
