We are highlighting 23 food forests throughout several USDA Hardiness Zones of Florida. Our research addresses the untapped potential of these systems in an increasingly urbanized landscape. This is the first statewide food forest assessment in Florida, enabling us to follow the fate of these agroforest gardens over time.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will understand the geographic extent of food forest installation across the State of Florida.
Upon completion, participants will understand the ecosystem services provided by food forests in the subtropical and tropical regions of the State of Florida.
Upon completion, participants will be able to discuss the diversity of plant species found in Florida food forests.
