You said 3 years ago my friends were having kids and I was birthing a food forest... I no joke just said these words to my friend last week when I bought a plot of land to start Fed by Forests first public food forest and she told me she was pregnant. I said well we are both birthing something these next 9 months! 😂 feeding future generations with these forests!!! 🙏🏼 so amazing to witness the growth with you and absolutely fueled by your energy and so inspired to share in the passion of this mission in service to pacha mama 🌱🌳🌎💚🙏🏼 Blessings to you!
Food forests are lovely, the transition from womanhood to motherhood does not compare ❤️
Doing the exact same thing here in the UK. Sadly don't have an abundant list of plants yet. But its decent at the moment hope to see similar results in growth.
Make cuttings
It is the most beautiful and inspiring food forest I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much
I love that you call it a "life forest"!
Fantastic life forest and your learning from your re-generative intervention ... Great case studies Byron, you are an inspiration and pioneer on this subject (I live on a tropical climate zone in the hills of southern India and wish to go for what you are doing) ... Thank you and wish you great success
Awesome - Good luck on your project !
Would like for you to do a video on starting a food forest from scratch. What are your suggestion on sourcing plant before you get an established nursery stock, preparing the site and things like that.
Coming very soon
this is gorgeous, i would love nothing more than to help nurture life like you have. much love Bryan
This is such a great video! I love your work brother. You are BY FAR the most exciting content creator in the Food Forestry and Syntropic Agriculture realm. Keep up the good work. Thank you!
💚🌲🌿🌳💚
It’s insane, and inspiring to see your projects transformation from rows of trees in a fuel to essentials a rainforest style food forest! You can almost not tell that there is rows anymore. I think the productive walkways were a grand addition
So exciting, so dense, so beautiful! Your life forest is vibrating from so much life I can feel it from here in the midwest
Also the white shirt serves as a lab coat to your almost mad scientist energy, I love it haha
As a brazilian, i've seen many syntrophic farms, so i can tell you that yours is one of the best i've ever seen. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow, thank you! Glad you liked it
Quien es Felipe y Janar? Cual es la Academia Agroforestal que nombras?
Alimentar la biología es la clave. Bien dicho.
Such amazing work and inspiring.
A book covering this field of study would be great if you’re interested in writing one!
That's incredible! And thanks for the advice: "overplant support trees". Noted!
When you say temperate, what latitude is that? Just wanna know what's possible in mine ~35°
beautiful food forrest!
the oldest forrest looks amazing
best video yet! growing like the trees :-)
Thank you !
Great video
its really amazing to see your food/life forests ;) such a beautiful development...I'm also thinking about interplanting my orchard..I'm just wondering with that high density of lucerne trees are you not afraid of them taking over/ being invasive?
Inspiring 🤩 I've appreciated your videos and interviews so much. Do you harvest and sell your produce?
im following youragroforestry proccess since early 2022, i do the same in a tiny back yard with smaller plants but it also work.. thanks for inspiring
Really informative, was lost in the forest.
Our land has a ton of termites. Is it concerning adding all that wood?
Heyo! That is AMAZING. Great job up there! I have been wondering about the practicality of harvesting the fruits in a dense and high agroforestry system. Can you show us how you manage it? Thanks for sharing
I'd like to see that, as well as hear a bit about the economics of it.
Can a couple of people transition from full time jobs to doing this and still pay the bills after a few years?
Very cool stuff, but wondering if we could still pay the mortgage, etc.
Very inspirational as always. Working on a similar system here planting between lima trees. Do you use a drip feed/water system?
Epic dude! I need to get you out to New England to teach a workshop.
Super inspiring my man!
Glad to hear it!
Life Forest! Love that!
Another great video. Looking forward to seeing how the pawpaws do in the temperate system. Do you plant as dense in the temperate syntropic system as you would a more tropical system? I would think things need to get a little more sun and not as much shade since there’s less of a growing season.
Nice video, I was wondering if stacking mulch that close to the tree could cause damage. Wouldn't the moisture and microbial activity rot the bark?
Great video! What are the coldest temperatures there in winter? Does it get frosty often?
Such a great understanding and mastery Byron, looking forward to learning from you in the future. I'm in Kenya doing a small syntropic trial. I also planted eucalyptus and leucaena or gliricidia every meter to have a lot fo supports. As I max out what I know here, learn from my friend, and graduate on, I want to learn with you to expand my mind in those areas that you have as well
Thank you - Sounds like you're doing incredible work! Would love to visit Kenya
@@byron.in.new.zealand Thank you, I have been very passionate about it
Life forest! Love it!
Ernst Gotsch ,Agricultura sintropica ❤ Byron 🎉
In.your nee rows did you plant your deciduous fruit trees with the ever green tropicals?
Very informative and impressive. I would like information on what to plant in Gaffney, SC 29340 (Cherokee County)
Thank you
Thank you - Plant the fast-growing 'weedy trees' that you already find in your local area that you're able to manage for the early succession pioneers, plus whatever edibles grow well in your climate
Hi Byron, I’ve been following you for a while now. Thanks a plenty. Do you have regular help in setting up each row? Or is it just set up as part of a workshop?
Do you have any information on the economics of these systems? And do you know of any systems like this in the 8 and 9 zone ranges?
I've been following permaculture for years and have wanted to create my own food forest (sorta doing it around my house, but we only have a tiny area) and may be getting a little land soon so I'm curious what the financial viability is.
Is this something that we can work full time jobs and slowly transition away from them, and do this full time as we are getting older?
I appreciate any thoughts on this, and have really been enjoying your videos.
Paradise
it's beautiful, thank you for birthing it haha
Hi! Great stuff. I just wanted to note, something tot try is switch the thumbnail from reading right to left to left to right. It feels a bit off. And i think you will receive more views that way
What is your spacing for banana? I did support trees every half meter, but your bananas look closer than my 3 meter spacing. Do you leave them with one or two pups or transplant all the pups? Thanks for the amazing info!
Would you have a recommendation for an evergreen tree in Tucson Az? Thanks in advance.
So citrus tress etc cannot survive in agroforestry? 😢
I love my lemons, Mandarins, oranges etc. i really love them as i grew up with them, plus i enjoy their fruits so much i can’t get enough. 😅
What I am missing often in syntropic community is the missing of checking biological life in the soil. The development of it from start after 1 year, 2 years etc..that would be super interesting. Unluckily I didn't have the possibility to do it,but I started on checking compost and soils under the microscope
Would be fascinating to test, but no doubt it’s there. Would love to get behind a microscope
When are you touring Florida?
If you could make a stop in South Georgia we would love to have you.
I have my own little piece of the agroforestry puzzle to debut and would be great to speak in person.
Will make an announcement re: Florida (there will be an event run with myself and your fav Florida agroforestry guys)
@@byron.in.new.zealand this will be interesting.
I am growing Oranges, Cherimoya and some other secret plantas in Georgia.
We have a lot of rabbits that ringbark our young fruit trees and de head our newly planted natives or graze our garden....we havnt started our syntropic food forest yet but plan to this spring...really worried about going to all this effort of seed raising, propagation, planting etc just to find the rabbits demolish it over night. Has anyone else had experience with rabbits as a problem or not a problem in their food forests please??
How high do you let the eucalyptus grow before you prune and do you hard prune ie cut it down to the base? I find they dont always come back. Also did you install the papayas later once there was frost protection ?
I'll high-pollard them around the 5-6m mark, so letting them grow 7m+ depending on the situation. Won't coppice them for another few years, but if I want them to regrow they'll want plenty of sun at their base to stimulate that. I've found highland papayas are best added in the second year
The pollinators for Brazil nuts is a large bee similar to a carpenter bee. It can only breed with scent from an orchid indigenous to its area that grows on a different species of tree. How do you plan to overcome this? I have tropical land and have considered planting Brazil.
There’s fruiting trees in Auckland
How do you manage to bring in seeds from other countries into nz given the strict bio security regulations?

What is your level of incorporation for animals in these systems? Just freely range them?
No animal integration in these areas at the moment, but will be exploring that more in the next season
@@byron.in.new.zealand Ok, looking forward to hearing more about that
How much food is produced v normal agricultural production?
Does eucalyptus nitens grow well from cuttings?
Nope
seed
Great vid but the audio clipping is distracting. Paw paws are so frickin good!
Which hardiness zone is this in?
If only this worked in central to southwest Florida
It does! Will be sharing examples from there soon
@@byron.in.new.zealand thank you
Where are you located?
You are NZ citizen or you moved ?
Why do foods forests never have any food in them lol
Amazing video! Super informative & helpful. So are incredible! One question: do you have a email address or phone address? Would like to have a quick chat. 🌱🌿
Thanks! Fill out the form on my website if you’ve got a project you’d like to discuss
I love the content, but the way it’s edited and the pace of everything is way too fast for me to enjoy and relax to.
The content is a beautiful, peaceful forest.
But the camera cutting to a different shot every few seconds, the music, the over production in the editing studio and the pace at which your speaking is quite stressful.
Looks at others who are doing similar things and sharing their story on YT. The pace is much slower with more background noise and silences in between what they are saying to give you time to digest what they said. Peaceful, calming music (or no music at all).
Just my two cents,
Love what you’re doing, I just don’t like the way these videos are edited.
Hey Byron, love your content, Im inspired by Ernest as well. Quick question- how did you leave brazil with seeds? I was under the impression that was illegal? Im looking for land in Puerto Rico to start an agroforestry project. Thanks mate.
