    Here’s the quote, though:

    The forest gardens have it all: a protective wall of acacia trees, fast-growing trees for firewood and fodder, veggie patches, and fruit orchards bursting with mangoes, avocados, oranges, and more, as the Guardian detailed. It’s the perfect mix to feed a family, with some extra to sell. Plus, these farmers can earn cash for the carbon their thriving soil soaks up.

    It’s not just “farmer bob plants trees”, but an engineered mix to improve the soil and let Bob eat and support a family so it’s sustainable for the farmer as well.

    Brilliant. I can only applaud this effort and hope it can realize its goals; for all our sake.
