Why Food Trees?
Agroforestry - A traditional form of agriculture that integrates trees with crops and/or livestock in a system that is more regenerative economically, and ecologically than that of the single components on their own.
Sources say that 1 breadfruit tree equals to approximately:
$900 food (450lbs of starch - food for a family of 4)
$750 water recycled
$625 soil erosion prevented
$1300 pollution controlled
(to name a few)
