[QUOTE="Princess Pooper, post: 4016736, member: 971"] Orchards are a long established example of agroforestry. Agroforestry is the new thing in sustainability. What goes around comes around. Traditional orchards are fantastic for biodiversity and a highly valued ecosystem. Trees are good for soil and water management. Modern cost pressures with an emphasis on food production alone are what has put paid to many orchards but they are a fantastic ecosystem service. Much more community interest in orchards now too. In parts of the country eg Worcs where I grew up as well as orchards, many hedges had fruit and nut trees in. [/QUOTE]
