What can the forest teach us about ecological food production?
About the practice of nonviolence? About how to redesign our culture so
that we humans heal our ecosystems and communities, rather than destroying
them? Healthy forests maintain, fertilize, and renew themselves,
naturally. When we understand how these amazing properties emerge from
forest ecosystem structure and function, we can apply that knowledge to the
design of “food forests” that mimic natural forests while growing food, fuel,
fiber, fodder, fertilizers, farmaceuticals, and fun! With forest gardens
as our teachers, we can also use the same principles to design human social
systems that allow us each to fully be ourselves while interconnecting in
functional ways. This can create a culture of free human beings that
builds community health and well-being without force or violence. This
talk by Edible Forest Gardens author Dave Jacke introduces the vision of forest
gardening with some scientific background, a few living examples, and a
sampling of some useful perennial edibles you can use in your own garden.
It also summarizes how the ecology of forests can guide the practical
application of nonviolence in regenerating our culture. Suggested minimum
donation $10; no one turned away for lack of funds.
