"L'arrivée du nématode pose donc, en creux, la question de la reconversion de ce patrimoine forestier : les propriétaires ont investi, certes, mais la collectivité doit-elle nécessairement financer la reconstruction à l'identique d'une monoculture dont la vulnérabilité est documentée depuis longtemps ? La réponse regarde les pouvoirs publics — mais le nématode, lui, ne l'attendra pas."

"Reasons to use Permaculture principals to design your Food Forest

- Permaculture is a fantastic way to reduce your workload, particularly on lifestyle blocks.

- Permaculture design reduces workload by mimicking natural systems, natural systems maintain themselves, so that you don’t have to.

- Permaculture can save money. Successful permaculture properties operate as a closed loop, requiring few products to be bought in to maintain it. Ideally all your fertility will be made or grown on site.

- To provide resilience from natural disasters. Permaculture landscapes mitigate against flood events, resist the effects of drought, provide food security, enhance habitat for animals /birds / insects, process their own waste (turning it into a valuable resource), and provide can even fuel in winter if you have enough space to add a woodlot.

- Reduce exposure to chemicals in the environment. Permaculture and organics go hand in hand – an organically managed property will be free from the potential harmful effects of chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.

10 incredible #UrbanFoodForests from around the world

"If we take a moment to observe nature we realize that a woodland doesn’t require artificial interventions to remain flourishing." – Picasso Food Forest

Climate Society
14th June 2022

"Everywhere around the world cities are facing the challenge of providing their growing population with fresh, local food. Instead of buying food cultivated in monocultures hundreds of miles away from home, both farmers as well as engaged citizens are turning to a radically different approach. They are transforming school yards, parking lots and even boats into edible food forests.

"Food forests are the complete opposite of our industrial agricultural model. Instead of large-scale monocrops covered in harmful pesticides, food forests are diverse ecosystems, mimicking natural forests. The different layers of a food forest, ranging from tall fruit and nut trees to fruit bearing shrubs and bushes, vines, roots and other ground-hugging plants, offer a variety of fresh, local, organic produce.

"Especially for city dwellers, these urban food forests provide a huge opportunity. Rather than depending on the heavily industrialized food system, it enables people in cities to gain access to healthy and sustainable nutrition. In addition, by actively participating in taking care of a food forest, the connection to both nature and community gets an instant boost.

"These ten inspiring examples of food forests prove that it is possible to provide inhabitants of urban areas with food that is good for both people and planet."
