The #FoodForest - Australia
Short description of your place and practices:
"The Food Forest is a 15 hectare property in #Gawler where we grow over 160 varieties of fruit, nuts, grains, vegetables and timber. If you haven't already tasted any of our goodies, come along and see us every second week at the #Adelaide Showground Farmers Market.
"We offer a consultancy service, run courses on permaculture, building with #strawbales, fruit & nut production, #sustainable house design and more. Coming along for a tour or one of our twice-yearly open days is a great way to get a taste of what we're all about."

#Philippines #AgroEcology highlight from @AgroecologyMap
"Kuatro Marias' Agroecology Farm, located in San Narciso, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro, is a pioneering model of sustainable agriculture in the Philippines. Established in 1998, the farm operates on the principles of agroecology, focusing on harmonizing agricultural productivity with #environmental #stewardship. With a mission rooted in #biodiversity protection and #sustainable resource use, the farm avoids synthetic chemicals, instead leveraging natural cycles to nurture its crops, livestock, and aquaculture systems. Its name symbolizes balance and sustainability, honoring the four elements and the proprietor’s four daughters.
"The farm showcases an Integrated Diversified Organic Farming System (#IDOFS), where crops, livestock, and aquaculture coexist in a symbiotic relationship. This includes a #FoodForest with diverse trees like #ube and #cinnamon, a pond supporting #tilapia and other fish, and naturally fed chickens and hogs. A unique #SeedBank ensures the preservation of genetic diversity while minimizing waste. These practices not only enhance productivity but also build resilience against climate change and natural disasters, embodying agroecological principles that prioritize soil health, ecological balance, and community well-being."
