[QUOTE="Dan Powell, post: 2025040, member: 1370"] An extremely diverse range. Everthing from fruit, nuts, timber to fertility trees, living fenceposts, medicinal and herbage trees for cattle. Even xmas trees. The sky's the limit. You can sell mistletoe for £3 a sprig. The point is as farmers we are sitting on an asset we barely exploit selling wheat at a fraction over the cost of production when there are so many other things people want that will grow with no purchased inputs at all in a perennial system which constantly increases in diversity, complexity, wildlife, beauty and yes potential revenue streams. Packaging all this up in the right way is the trick and I'm not there yet. It might be impossible, but I'm hoping to give it a go. Basically the system would be based around silvopasture and permaculture ideas. [/QUOTE]
