With that in mind, when redesigning your yards take the chapter of agroforestry with you, you’ll do a lot of good. In my time working as a gardener I can’t tell you how many designers tell clients about how they’ll have a “Nice and natural” garden but they just bring in plants from different continents or regions of the world.

With 8 acres and the methods he’s practicing? Absolutely not, it’s only really a hobby at that scale. I love the idea of agroforestry practices but it’s not really practical for a farmer to convert say 50-100 acres of fertile pasture or crop land to these practices. It would likely half your profits or more. Silvopasture at large scale is at least somewhat practical
@ximono2 жыл бұрын
@@elguaje7. You're absolutely right if talking about self sufficient in the economical sense, as in living off profits from products sold to the market.

Look for land that is being devalued by abandoned structures ,trailers etc. Or a little nook on a hillside that you can terrace. If the location is right 1 or 2 acres can supply all you need. You can often find 1 or 2 acre plots in an area where people dont wanna do the extra work foe a small plot of land like terracing, drilling wells, off grid utilities or bringing in utilities. I found an underappreciated piece of land for $13,000. 1.5 acres but beautiful secluded location overlooking a river

Hi there, thanks for watching! Like most young agroforestry farms/systems our income is currently generated by other means while the slow growing/future perennial crops mature - in our case it is from a productive market garden growing veg for a community box scheme, in an alley cropping system (growing fast growing/high income annual crops alongside rows of fruit/productive trees). The current agroforestry systems and practices outlined in this film are really to support the household with products from the silvopasture systems like firewood, fruit, milk, meat and eggs (some of which we already sell). We are however designing in trees and livestock that will hopefully become an enterprise to bring in some revenue in the near future, alongside the development of a tree nursery business.
