ʻUlu Agroforestry Series: Multi-Story Cropping - Then & Now

In this video, explore the benefits and challenges of multi-story cropping systems (or forest farming) utilizing ʻulu as the primary canopy crop - a traditional agroforestry method practiced in Hawaiʻi for generations.
Learn how your farm can improve production and resilience to pests and diseases through increased biodiversity and successional planting with traditional companion plants.

Very cool. Mahalo! One thing to consider about the “reduced efficiency without mechanized tools” is how inefficient the manufacturing and distribution of those materials and fuels are. When you factor in these hidden “costs” agroforestry is way more efficient. 🤙❤️

Amazing, love this!

Any problems with the LFA on Hawaii? I’m on the east side of the big island and most of the farmers stopped farming already because of the “electric ant” or “lfa” commonly known in Hawaii as the fire ant.
