The Food Forest Movement is Spreading Across Europe!

- Food forests are on the rise in Europe! These highly productive food systems mimic natural ecosystems- creating a diversity of food while being a haven for a diversity of animals and insects. Food forests are a revolutionary alternative to the globalized, industrialized food system.

I love to hear that someone farming in this way is actually producing a better, more sustainable profit, than the ‘conventional’ farms in the area!☮️🌱🌎
8 times as much at the time of recording and increasing each year
Currently creating a forest garden in Brittany France on near 3 Ha of field following the advices of Martin CRAWFORD. Great adventure!
Keep up the great work, Rob, bringing wisdom from across the world.
I learned about food forrest about 3 years ago and i can t stop thinking about it.
They are just beautiful and the benefit they have is also great
Love you Rob ! 💖 big thumbs and blessings from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Nice to see a Portuguese example featured in this video. We need more of these. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Portugal.
Always love seeing Martin's place. ♥️
Variety, yes! However, certain species are invasive and some simply not compatible by nature, which is something else very important to learn to understand, where and how, when working with sister nature, mother Earth; diligently watch and listen and we learn :-)
Food forestry is nowhere possible without using useful exotic species (same with your meals today). The good news: most exotic species are simply not invasive. So it is better not exaggerate xenophobia. Just do not to plant those few invasive species and enjoy the majority of exotic species.
There is no such thing as a species that is "not compatible with nature". This is an oxymoron.
Use seed bombs / seed balls too for planting fruit shrubs, trees . You can also use vegetable seeds in the seed balls
Fantastic, Love it!!!
very inspiring...love how the wildlife is respected alongside tge food growth
They have had food forrests for years. I have, at least, been watching their videos and reading books on that side of the world for more than 10 years. It is just starting in the US.
I prioritize natives first to build a foundation then I keep adding food trees and plants and the front of my home is almost exclusively ornamental. I don't do medicinal plants since I think most are naturally medicinal anyway. I have observed in my years that diversity has more value than anything but there are many purists out there.
Permaculture and agro-forestry FTW!!! 😀
I need instruction for beginners. An easy one like "Year one, plant this and this. Year two, also plant this and this".
Love this! Thank you! ⚘
Very well done!
I live somewhere place with low population and this place has a unlimited clean water... You can drink straight from tap water and it's free but struggling to make good soil since everywhere is heavy on grass 😢
Chop and drop?
@@MorAcro I never have problem with compost since I can found cow dung easily and the soil here is really good but so high maintenance due to grass being everywhere
@@calvinchandra6816 hmmm. Maybe import some goats for some time…
@@MorAcro maybe good idea for investment 😅
@@calvinchandra6816 I have never done this, but saw it on another video, people will rent livestock to mow down the grass and make manure at the same time…
It’s distressing how traditional farming is considered food forests instead of just farming. :)
Very interesting, I live next to a small forest in the North Eastern United States. I wonder how to get started with something like this.
If the property isn’t owned by you, then you might call it “ guerrilla” gardening. 🌻
Just start spreading seeds and planting stuff!🌈🌎
Best Wishes.🌱
@@grandavepermaculture I love this idea!
Awesome ......Love it
Excellent video
Nice to see, and good for the earth. But it is not feasible without donations and many volunteers. I'm afraid it won't come from hobby farming. We will continue to need agriculture to feed the world's population.
i want to see more
Hi Rob. When and where can I buy your plants and trees?
I'm in Spring Hill. Deborah
😊👍🏽💯😎
Are there are any countries in Europe which are particularly good for a food forest from a climate perspective?
The music slaps though
Are there any resources to get started?
my favourite part in the video is where the lady is wearing a mask just for the sake of the video
😂😂
I wish I could try to explain what I wanna do
Very interesting... Who is the first speaker?
Martin Crawford! Very interesting guy to look into
@@MrOlav99 Ah yes, I've got his Creating a Forest Garden book which is really good.
Plant mulberry trees 🤌
