• Creating a forest garden or food forest (What is a forest garden and why choose this model / Designing your space / Knowing, choosing, and propagating plants).
A forest garden (or food forest) is an agricultural system inspired by the functioning of a natural forest, where edible plants are cultivated by imitating its layered structure (trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, ground cover, roots, and climbing plants).
Each plant plays a complementary role (fertilization, protection, production), creating a balanced and productive ecosystem. Based on the principles of permaculture, this model promotes biodiversity, reduces external inputs, and improves soil fertility.
Once established, it requires little maintenance and sustainably provides fruits, vegetables, medicinal plants, and other resources.
Permaculture means designing a garden so intelligently that nature does most of the work… when everything is well thought out, nature works efficiently in silence, and the gardener reaps the benefits with minimal effort.
The three pillars of permaculture are fundamental ethical principles:
• Care for the Earth: preserve soils, water, ecosystems, and biodiversity.
• Care for People: meet essential human needs (food, shelter, well-being) in an equitable way.
• Fair Share (or redistribution of surplus): limit overconsumption and share resources fairly.
