FRAME Magazine highlights the Food Forest at Brown’s Mill

Sustenance Design was recently interviewed by the Netherlands-based magazine exploring the ideas of a Food Forest and how they could be applicable towards more ecologically-based communities. The article can be linked HERE with excerpt below.

“The ecosystem benefits of a food forest are many, in addition to the important aim of localizing agricultural production,’ adds Lindsey Sita Mann, founder and lead designer of Sustenance Design, an ecological and edible land planning studio based in Atlanta, Georgia. ‘Food forests are regenerative, adding biomass and biodiversity to the urban landscape, they improve the water cycle and moderate urban temperatures.’ They also help uptake CO2 emissions, improving urban air quality. Layers of trees, plants and shrubs produce edible food – for humans or other species – year-round.”
