A volunteer on a project at the Food Forest Coalition of Chattanooga.(Food Forest Coalition of Chattanooga)
They are known as “food forests,” “forest gardens” and “edible forests.”
They mimic the ecosystem of the forest - aligned with growing patterns in nature - as a way to produce food for us.
In this city, the Food Forest Coalition of Chattanooga is committed to this type of cultivation.
Over the summer, I spoke with Jonathan Parkes Allen, the coalition’s founder.
