The food forest is a perennial system in which more than 80% of the plants and trees are edible. It is inspired by the forest in the sense that plants and trees all grow harmoniously together at a high density. Every layer of the system is occupied by a specific crop. On top trees are grown at different heights, coconut trees are emergents, mango trees as a high canopy, longan as a lower canopy and below that shrubs and roots that can thrive with less sunlight. At Saifana, our newly planted food forest is slowly developing and we are learning which plants are best suited for our region.
