Welcome

This site is intended to bring awareness to the use of woody perennial plants to enhance food security, quality of life, and ecosystem service provision in urban environments. This strategy, known as "urban food forestry" has been rapidly gaining traction among urban planners, academics, and grassroots organizations over the past decade. Feel free to contact me at kyle@urbanfoodforestry.org if you have questions about urban food forestry or if you are seeking consulting services.
