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.</p><p>- 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.</p><p>- Reduce exposure to chemicals in the environment.

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.</p><p>"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.</p><p>"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.

Keith D Johnson<p>After 50+ years of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/organic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>organic</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> / <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/polyculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>polyculture</span></a>, I've found that one of the best ways to manage pests is to overwhelm them with alternate food sources. Toward that end I find it of value to purchase RADISH SEED in bulk. Before I plant anything in the ground, I scatter radish (daikon is my favorite as it's mild). This performs several functions: 1. snip 'em as microgreens until they get to 5" (12.7mm.) or so. 2. They shade the ground to reduce evaporation 3. they pump sugars (via photosynthesis) into the earth to stimulate / feed microbes and fungi. 4. they provide food for pill bugs / cutworms / slugs & less predation of the crop, 5. can be snipped for, or browsed by small livestock, 6. you can cut and lay them down as mulch, and 7. you get radishes from the ones you let grow. Got any other functions to add?<br>Edit: the same terms apply to turnip seeds and any other brassica one can obtain in quantity. Buckwheat works similarly in warmer months and locales.</p>

Pauline von Hellermann<p>28/52 Farmers in Italy, Spain and France also developed "cultura promiscua", promiscuous culture or <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/polyculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>polyculture</span></a>: a system of intercropping that combines in particular wine and olive trees ("companian trees), but also many other plants, all complementing each other. It is ancient but still practiced very widely. Here is one nice introductory article - was going to add a picture I took myself in Italy this summer, when I learned about all this but can't upload (on train)</p><p><a href="https://ladonaira.com/in-praise-of-promiscuous-cultures/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ladonaira.com/in-praise-of-pro</span><span class="invisible">miscuous-cultures/</span></a></p>
