No, it isn't just the two of you ! I'm in Morocco, and been thinking years about a food forest. Hopefully earthworks will begin in a couple of months...
My pioneers will be Tagasaste (Tree Lucerne - Chamaecytisus Palmensis - native from the Canary Islands), Vetiver (on the swales bank), Cedrus atlantica, moringa stenopetala, and members of eleagnus and hippophae families. Hope that helps ?
I can't digest vegetal proteins (some almond is ok), and my husband has Chron's disease. So the ecosystem will be turned very much to an omnivore/carvivore kind of diet. Lots of fodder trees (tagasaste, morus alba, moringa st.) for the sheep, plus pasture designed for bees and sheep, some grain cultivated for a wild array of birds... (guinea fowl, ducks, pigeon, partridge, quail - no chicken, i'm not located in Asia!)
Bees... Rabbits...
Almonds and Apricots... Figs and Pomegranate...
A vast amount of insectary plants, since my husband could sniff essential oils all day long...and they're pest reppellents too...
