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."Read more: <a href="https://sustainableurbandelta.com/urban-food-forests/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://sustainableurbandelta.com/urban-food-forests/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodForests</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SustainableAgriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SustainableAgriculture</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodSecurity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodSovereignty</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OrganicGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OrganicGardening</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GardeningWithoutPesticides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GardeningWithoutPesticides</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityAgriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityAgriculture</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Monoculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monoculture</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlantDiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlantDiversity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigFood</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigAg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigAg</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoodSovereignty</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WebOfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebOfLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Polyculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Polyculture</a>

Marcelo Soares SouzaJust a short walk around my house and I can find many vegetable gardens and fruit trees. Urban gardens are a great solution for greater food security and for building more sustainable and regenerative cities. <a href="https://social.agroecologymap.org/tags/urbanfoodforests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urbanfoodforests</a> <a href="https://social.agroecologymap.org/tags/urbangarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urbangarden</a> <a href="https://social.agroecologymap.org/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#permaculture</a> <a href="https://social.agroecologymap.org/tags/agroecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agroecology</a> <a href="https://social.agroecologymap.org/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://social.agroecologymap.org/tags/foodsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foodsecurity</a>
