hectares of food forest
In the food forest an extensive diversity of nuts, fruit, seeds, vegetables, herbs, spices and mushrooms will be grown. Unlike conventional agriculture, food forests make use of the power of nature. The special combination of vegetation enables the forest to guard itself against all sorts of challenges and at the same time to improve its biodiversity. As much as possible the food forest harvest will either be sold directly to local customers or processed into various non-perishable regional products.
Apart from what products yield, much attention will be given to education and recreation, for instance by offering trainee posts or field trips, in order to raise awakening with regard to sustainable and wholesome food. In this way Lubosch may fulfil an important social function.
The food forest will be planted at Lubosch Land in Ransdaal, Zuid-Limburg.
In this project we work together with Agroforestry Foundation Netherlands (SVN) and Geert Jan Nieboer.
“By means of Lubosch Land food forest in the magnificent hills of Zuid-Limburg, we will gladly accept the challenge to boost biodiversity in the region, provide good and delicious food and contribute to a wider nature-consciousness.”
