Food forest is a very nice example of farmed, sustainable ecosystem. The forest garden is dominated by perennial plants, wild, self-seeding plants and other hardy plants. Food forest also contains a variety of supporting plants, which allows undisturbed cycling of matter, creating favorable growth conditions. Forest garden design is remarkably useful for the urban environment, because the exploitation of vertical layers optimizes the use of space. In the woods small trees and shrubs are hidden under the canopies of higher trees, and under the bushes we can find useful and edible undergrowth. There are plants climbing the trees and underground we can find the beneficial microorganisms, fungi and tubers. Thoughtfully planned food forest becomes a truly stable and resilient ecosystem, which can survive for millenniums, without need for intensive maintenance.
