You can actually grow a LOT in a small amount of space. With only a few feet of land between my house and the neighbor I have several plants, vines, and trees. I have 2 peach trees, 2 banana, 1 apricot, 1 pomegranate, 1 orange, 1 lime, 2 lemon, 2 almond, 6 apple, 1 mango, 2 avocado, and 1 cherry. And that's just the trees. About half are in containers and half in the ground. My food forest provides food and spices for me on a daily basis and it keeps getting better. I haven't used any fertilizer. I use compost and sometimes compost tea. Now that my soil is better, I mainly just use compost when planting something new. Permaculture is the way to go!
@ yes. In the late stage of a it’s life, the agave produces a central stalk about 28 ft. In height which leads to blossoms at it s tips. It is known as quiote. The quiote weighs several hundred pounds. The blossoms are used in soup. The rest of the quiote is cut up into manageable log sizes which are roasted in a bonfire for several hours. Hardwood is the main fuel. The starches in the quiote are converted into caramelized sugar which makes for a very sweet treat. I however no longer do that myself. I make sound permaculture decisions. I barter for work. I get Mexican workers who yearn for the delicacies of the homeland which are not available in US stores. In return, I get a few pounds of the roasted quiote but 40 gallons of cooled and sifted hardwood ash. One of the workers who was the brother-in-law of the man with whom I made the deal stated,” Sir, you are a very kind and affable man, but why did you request the ashes instead a larger share of the quiote?” My answer was, “ because the ashes contain potassium, the mineral which the agave loves and needs for growth. The agave you took was at the end of its life. I still have two agaves to look after.”
It would be awesome if I could get the right place in Central America to plant a food forest using permaculture techniques. When I lived there before I had tilapia in an aquaponics system that grew lots of salad stuff, strawberries and other stuff. And I grew veggies in the soil there. But I didn't get a chance to plant a more permanent garden with a sturdy greenhouse. And I want to plant a lot of fruit trees. Medicinal plants too, of course. I'd be happy spending the rest of my life building a self sustaining place where I just buy beans, rice, and staples like that.
Put in chinampas as the Toltecs and later Aztecs did in Lake Texoco. The Azetecs even grew spiro gira as a food staple using the brackish water in the southern part of the lake.
Such a good perspective on our current unsustainable agricultural methods and the often unappreciated resilience of nature if we only make the effort to understand and comply with its rules.
Wonderful video! Listening to Amit Pompan is a pleasure! There's so much knowledge and practical tips that it almost seems wasteful in comparison to other Videos. This could have been like 15 videos. Thank you and your team. Greetings from Germany!
I am from Maasai with passport! Thank you so much for helping with his little cabin. I hope you will visit again and teach him how to grow fruit trees and vegetables and set up a composting area. All the best on your journey.
Pretty cool how tree growing works best in different ecsystems. I don't need to do any of this except for growing from seed in place. If anything, the fastest way to a mature food forest here is that japanese method of super-dense planting to encourage vertical growth, then using chop\drop to give light dominance to your preferred trees while building the forest floor super fast. I don't want to rush it, I am dedicated to buying land and making a natural orchard and will plant my trees at the spacing I want them to be in the end and make gardens in between. Great video, lots of deep vibes and principles here :)
I work as a gardener and root-bound nastiness is the norm for nursery plants. I 100% growing a tree where it will be. Not really that important for annuals, but I still prefer the simplicity of direct seeding. Getting into transplants adds so much complexity by needing to provide ongoing care for them in a controlled space, then you gotta harden them off, and then plant them, super fiddly imo. So much less work to make a little furrow or dip in the soil and sprinkle more on top and a light covering of gentle mulch like shredded leaves. You probably could grow baby trees in long tubes to allow taproot formation, just came to mind. The squat pot shape is the problem there, not so much growing in a container and transplanting. It's just the wrong container. I will still direct seed, but I bet there are really good nursery techniques that just aren't done most places. Easy way to corner a local market, sell baby trees with long healthy taproots that take off way faster than the sad rootbound friends from Monrovia and other evil giant companies.
Take in account that long tube will need deep digging so sure it's better but more work. The best's still to directly plant the seed or really little and young seedling
@oskaraalholm7505 let's free ourselves from narratives of separation. If you ever come to Palestine, I will show you how in many places, israelis and Palestinians live together in peace.🌀 Let me just say- I understand your sentiment. But I believe that being either "pro Israel" or "pro Palestine" is the same engine for hatred. Instead, let us say "peace in the middle east" 🤍🌀🌳
Free from what? Syria is an artificial French made country with different ethnic groups, religions and nations. Israël is the country for hebrews and these can be jews, muslim, christian or druze
Interesting that the algorithm has shown me your very nicely made video portraying a food forest paradise, just when Israel has continued its illegal expansion, occupation of lands, and expulsion of its original inhabitants, precisely in the area described here (the Golan Heights). It's a pity since somehow it removes the credibility to its contents and creators
Note that other than several nutjobs (who got arrested for illegal border crossing) - no-one is trying to settle the area beyond the border. I really hope that new rulers of Syria will be pragmatic enough to follow Egypt and Jordan footsteps and agree to maintain albeit non-friendly, but a kind of, peace. After a validation period, the buffer zone could be free of military presence.
@@MrBeelci as I said in the video - it's an unfortunate set of happenings. If it was up to me, I would have them stay and I'd come to buy fruits from them and support them :) In this channel, we stand for the freedom of all people, including Palestinians. Also freedom from narratives of hate and separation that keep the violence going. And we focus on creating a better future with what we have. Creating this video was indeed a risk of touching upon a sensitive subject. But the importance of this information made me take that risk, knowing its potential for humanity 🙏
@@MrBeelci The Assads were horrible people who tortured people in jail, and built a crematorium right next to it. It used enough fuel to have been a power generation plant, but instead it was was a factory of evil.
Israel imports 75% of its food. The fig may have access to unseen subsoil moisture. If not why is Israel dependent on food imports? Why not cover the entire country with food crop's.?
@@JamesMahon-y9g great question. 1. First is the inefficiency of the market. When profit stands before sense, many weird things happen (like importing tomatoes while destroying tomato produce because the price went down due to import) 2. Inefficiency of crops- if Israel grew what is most nutritionally sensible and made it the most available to everyone, the need for import would have gone down. a lot of land now is used to grow cattle feed. 3. Israel exports a LOT. cash crops like Mangos and dates are exported. If farmers grew food for local people in those lands, surely we'll see less import. 4. Overpopulation on a small country. Even if all of the above is changed, the land/population ratio would probably still require import, though to a lesser degree. Unfortunately many countries with incredibly large and fertile lands, are bullied financially to be a part of the global food chain, and focusing on mega sized crops to create raw products for global trade (sugar, palm oil, wheat, soy ect..) instead of prioritizing local nutrition and health. The solution is local sensibility.
@@JamesMahon-y9g most of israeli agriculture uses recycled sewage water for very cheap prices. there is an economic war against local production - israel can easily produce all of its food with the existing water infrastructure. the farming industry is being destroyed by the forces of the global food trade system - and the israeli goverment is willingly opening the market for cheaper produce subsidised by countries with different priorities and scales.
Here are the full passages: 1. **Matthew 6:25-27** > "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" 2. **Matthew 6:31-33** > "So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." 3. **Philippians 4:6-7** > "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." 4. **Psalm 37:25** > "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread." 5. **Proverbs 10:3** > "The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked." 6. **Deuteronomy 8:3** > "He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord."
sad reality is people created and sustainined this food forest on land using knowledge theyve known for generations then Isreal came & commited violence on the land & people

Add prickly pears cacti and three agaves then you will be equal to mine.

The coolest example I've seen of a food forest that re-wilded itself. Great video, too!
You obviously never never heard of Las Gaviotas in La Vichada, Colombia. it was initiated by Paolo Lugari an all round renaissance man.

The Groasis Waterboxx is designed to water deeply but slowly, encouraging deep root growth. It also condenses and gather dew from daily temp changes.
