SUMMARY:Edible Ecosystems Emerging: Forest Garden Design Intensive- 9 
 days- Pacific NW
DESCRIPTION:\"Forest ecosystems exhibit many beneficial properties we 
 humans would be wise to emulate in our culture, agriculture and hortic
 ulture:  *they maintain, renew, fertilize, and propagate themselves w
 ithout human inputs;  * they build, store, and conserve clean air, cl
 ean water, nutrients, soil quality, and biodiversity;  and * they exh
 ibit stability, resilience, and adaptability.\n\"These qualities emerg
 e from the dynamics of the forest as a whole system, not from any one 
 or more of the elements that comprise the forest alone. To design prod
 uctive edible ecosystems that express these same qualities, we must un
 derstand forest structures, functions, patterns, and processes, and us
 e this knowledge wisely.\n\"In this nine-day intensive course, you wil
 l dive deeply into the vision, theory, and practice of designing whole
 some, dynamic, and resilient edible ecosystems using temperate deciduo
 us forests as models. Dave Jacke and his teaching team will offer lect
 ures, site walks, and experiential exercises to help you understand ho
 w the architecture, social structure, underground economics, and succe
 ssional processes of natural forests apply to the design of edible eco
 systems of all kinds.  \"You'll learn a variety of ecological design p
 rocesses while designing a range of food-producing ecologies at our ho
 st farm. We'll also engage with issues of garden management, economics
 , and the deep paradigmatic shifts required to succeed at cocreating �
 ��humanatural” landscapes and cultures. You will leave inspired and 
 empowered to design food forests at home for yourself, and your friend
 s, neighbors and clients.\n\nFor more information visit https://transi
