How Urban Agroforestry Creates Biodiversity and Abundance

Allen Hancock and his land-mates at the Duma Community in Eugene Oregon have transformed an urban lot into a lush oasis of food and diversity. Their forest garden is a wonderful example of how agroforestry can be applied in urban spaces to grow enormous amounts of food while also meeting ecological needs be they stormwater infiltration, wildlife habitat, or urban temperature control. We hope this inspires others to imagine how food forests can be a model for the future of cities - addressing food security while restoring biodiversity.
