Nut Trees + Cash Crops: How to Grow Your Agroforestry System from the Ground Up

No-till permaculture farming practices like agroforestry and silvopasture offer high-density yields with less labour than conventional methods - but how do you actually design and grow an integrated system like this from Square One? In this clip from our Building Your Permaculture Property Summit, Mark Shepard shares how he developed his pioneering permaculture farm by strategically alleycropping perennial vegetables and fruits between rows of nut trees for a long-running succession of harvests.
