Wouter van Eck: Basic Food Forest Principles

Wouter van Eck describes how Food Forests work on his farm (Food Forest Ketelbroek/ foodforestke...) in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Take this inspiring walk with him to see how we could adapt perennial polycultures and natural structures into our farming and daily lives!

    This is what I love. Not constantly having to intervene but rather simply give nature a little push in the right direction, then letting it do its thing.

    Really fantastic initiative Wouter. I feel encouraged in my efforts trying to do the same in our gardens in France (small farm garden 3.500 m2) and Holland (city garden 100m2). Hopefully i can call them foodforests in the near future. Definitely coming to visit the food forest if allowed.

    I wish to have 3.500m2. Have only 1200.

    I bought a cheap house in Heerlen and started planting a food forest (front and back) only on a small property. a fruit hedge works fantastic. strawberries make a great ground cover and being both annuals they benefit the soil. plum trees work the best. check out Pete canaries and Charles downing as well to learn from.

    Just one thought. We can revegetate the entire planet in fifteen years while producing more food, more fuel, more medicine and fibre per acre. It will help farmers and rural residents by planting trees on private farmland, and will increase farmers’ incomes by 400 to 800% over seven to fifteen years. In this kind of projects we don't have just one cash crop per year.

    Achter de rij fruitbomen, begint het dan weer met lage struiken?

    Ja, er zit op termijn \ een golfbeweging in de oplopende zoom, al wordt de tweede strook hoger (met tamme kastanje en pecan).

    I want to see this man push a wheelbarrel full of crates with apples, while it has been raining. (very normal in autumn to rain lots when the apples ripen) There will be no very easy harvesting there without heavy machinery aiding you. This will be very labor intensive and therefor everything coming from that forest will be expensive, especially if you build this in larger scale.

    Thanks for showing interest. We have been harvesting quite some apples and nashi's and pears and medlars and Japanese walnuts and quinces and so on. It's fun to do! About scaling up production of bigger food forests I recommend watching this presentation: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m3-YltlylKbKobg.html
