I did a quick search and was surprised to find that this
video hasn't been shared here yet. As mentioned in this forum, Dave Jacke (of
Edible Forest Garden fame) is working on what will probably be another classic book on agroforestry.
This video is a presentation he gave at
DAcres of New Hampshire. Thanks are likely due to Josh Trout and Dave Jacke and the DAcres crew for the video.
Dave covers (in varying degrees of depth):
