unspeakablehorrorI think food forests need to be redeveloped as a technology to be a viable replacement to the current agricultural model. Though this concept would not need to be limited to forests. Someone could implement this concept on a prarie, a beach, or even a desert. The point is just to implement agriculture that allows itself to be a regenerative part of the natural world rather than a devastating ecological harm to it.
A fundamental point would be the elimination of the idea that people can own land. Ownership should be for personal possessions (which would include structures like a home). One should have the right to a certain amount of personal space in the area in which they live, so they could still stipulate a very small area outside their home not be subject to regular foot traffic, but they would not actually own any land outside their home. Instead, they would have rights and responsibilities in relation to that land much like people do with libraries and other public property. Rights would include being able to cultivate and harvest food from the land, and responsibilities would include protecting the land from environmental damage. Even areas not subject to regular foot traffic outside of a home could be subject to periodic oversight by others to ensure one is fulfilling their responsibilities to the land.
