Скачать или смотреть Transforming Monoculture Olives into a Biodiverse Food Forest at Jerash University

In this video, Geoff and some of his students transform a monoculture olive grove into a biodiverse food forest at the Jerash University Permaculture Project in Jordan (https://jordan.un.org/en/241518-un-ha.... The team is integrating fruit trees, support species, and ground covers to increase resilience and productivity while improving soil health through compost and nitrogen-fixing trees.

Key Takeaways:

Diversity Restores Balance: Converting a monoculture into a diverse ecosystem strengthens the land's resilience and productivity.
Layering in a Food Forest: Introducing multiple layers of plants—trees, shrubs, ground covers, and vines—creates a self-sustaining ecosystem.
Mulching for Soil Health: Mulching protects the soil, retains moisture, and enhances microbial activity, which is crucial for healthy plant growth.
The Power of Regeneration: Permaculture design can heal degraded land, creating abundance while regenerating natural systems.
Collaboration and Community: Working together in hands-on projects fosters connection, learning, and shared progress toward sustainable solutions.
