Agroforestry in Hawaii w/ John Parziale 

#agroforestry is the regenerative practice of incorporating trees with other types of agriculture. It builds resilience against #climatechange and drought, as well as offers many other social and economic benefits to communities. Kiss the Ground talked to farmers across the country to find out the benefits and challenges of implementing agroforestry on their farms
In the first episode of this three part agroforestry series, John Parziale shows us how a tropical Kauai food forest promotes biodiversity, integrates animals, and allows them to grow many different types of fruits and vegetables, like pineapple, papaya, sugarcane, coffee, vanilla and breadfruit all within 15 feet of each other!
