Permaculture is conscious, intentional design in which diverse, stable and resilient ecosystems are assimilated to help people provide their food, energy, shelter, and other needs in a regenerative way. Relying on forests are ecosystems with a diversity of plants and fungi in perfect balance. A food forest is a version of this in which the different, balanced components produce an abundance of food. When we understand how nature creates its ecosystem, we can model that with productive species to produce food sustainably with minimum inputs for maximum outputs.
