“A food forest is a gardening technique or land management system, which mimics a woodland ecosystem by substituting edible trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals,” writes Beacon Food Forest co-founder Glenn Herlihy. In other words, this community garden will produce food in the canopy, at the shrub level, in the shady understory, and even from vines that twine their way through the edible jungle.

I've become fastinated by this 3D Printing revolution. From building components to food. The technologies that have been designed to create our built environment are identical to the ones designing our food.

Food - World Resources Institute

According to WRI research, the world will have to close a gap of nearly 70 percent between the amount of food available today and that required by 2050. It must reduce agriculture’s impact on climate, ecosystems, and water. And it needs to ensure that agriculture supports inclusive economic and social development.

WRI works to meet these three needs. We develop analyses, partnerships, and strategies to secure a sustainable food future.

WRI’s World Resources Report project develops solutions to the world’s food production and consumption problems. We identify ways to reduce food loss and waste. We analyze strategies to sustainably increase food production, such as restoring degraded lands back into productivity, increasing pastureland yields, and improving land and water management. And we advance methods to reduce food production’s impact on the environment, such as climate-smart agriculture.
