Thanks for the great explanations for Agroforestry, multi-levels, swales, carbon sequestration, etc... I am trying a similar attempt in very dry southern California. It is a drastic change from the gardening practices that I grew up with where plants are grown as isolated individuals without recognizing the effect of neighboring plants.
Do you know about the tree Brosimum alicastrum? It produces a high protein nut used by the ancient Maya. Nice addition to your food forest... Ohhhh! There it is at minute 37! LOL! Will check out that native plants "Mamaki" and Mountain Apple... Should check out Erithryna edulis "Pajuro", a tree bean from the Andes, probably best adapted for moderate altitudes, subtropical climates...
Great video, but I have a hard time understanding some of the terminology used. Would be nice to hear common names of plants rather than scientific or Latin terms. Researching them is hard if you can’t properly spell or properly pronounce the name of the plant. Simple laymen attempting to start a food forest won’t have much chance of understanding the technical terms of horticulturalists or agricultural majors.
Well, our video was made with 0 budget. We did use some common names too. Every food forest will be different. Notice the title concepts in foodforestry.... More than just the names people will have to do alot of research and work with people that do know. Sorry for not being perfect, but we did pull off this video with 1 take and about 50 hours in the studio...

That is awesome. Contact me Richard jangeekauai@gmail.com
Great video and diversity of the tropical plants.
Sweet video... interesting, informative and mind blowing
It would be great for me if we exchange seeds for tropical fruit trees. I am also developing a food forest from scratch in Ecuador
Mahalo for the knowledge and inspiration!
Absolutely. You can email me jangeekauai@gmail.com or fb jangee westphal.
Just found your channel. God bless you
Brilliant. No other words .
Multi-storey agroforestry model is the way to go

Minute 31 Passiflora quadrangularis, Tumbo gigante
I would love to have someone help me do my planning for my food Forrest
jangeekauai@gmail.com. remind me what it's about. Tell me where you are, I might have some friends. I made the video
