Tropical food forests help the climate – and can do much more!
Agroforestry systems, as they are known in technical jargon, are one of the most effective solutions to climate change. They store CO2 in the trunks and branches of trees and additionally in the soil because they help build up humus.
Food forests give people additional income because harvesting can take place at multiple levels: coconuts at the top, mangoes and cashews below, papayas and pineapples below, and peanuts and ginger at the bottom.
And, food forests are home to many rare species such as monkeys, bats, birds and insects. They are bringing nature back.
