“What Will We Eat?”—Creating A Sustainable Food Supply for the Virginia Highlands and Other Temperate Mountainous Regions Using Agroforestry
Abstract
Detailed plans are presented for introducing agroforestry as a primary food source for Climate Change Haven Communities in the Virginia Highlands Region of the Appalachian Mountains. Primary emphasis is placed upon using fruits, grains, vegetables, nuts, and legumes as food sources. These plans may be transferrable to other mountainous areas of the Earth having temperate, subtropical climates.
