A diverse, self-sustaining ecosystem that mimics natural forest layers to produce food with minimal maintenance.
This advanced guild creates a multi-layered food production system inspired by natural forests. Each layer serves a specific function, from nitrogen fixation to pest control, creating a resilient and productive ecosystem that improves over time. Once established, it requires minimal input while providing diverse harvests.
