There is a growing push to integrate trees and shrubs with crops. The understanding of agroforestry is increasing its acceptance, use and potential for boosting food security and sustainable land use... Done well, it allows producers to make the best use of their land, can boost field crop yields, diversify income, and increase resilience to climate change... http://ourworld.unu.edu/en/how-agroforestry-schemes-can-improve-food-security-in-developing-countries/

This is how nature was originally before man stepped in with his idea of more, faster, bigger philosophy. Biotechnology and science have altered nature and her landscape beyond recognition, destroying soil, biodiversity, ecosystem and environment in their rush for control of the global food supply. Small farmers were gobbled up by multi-national corporations and we began eating factory farmed produce, raised and grown in un-natural ways. But we forget that the food grown has to be marketed, processed and packaged. The result ... sickness and colonialization of developing countries through destroying their cultural diets in favor of western, which their bodies were not accommodating and destroying family livelihoods in the process. If you want to change a culture, you change their food.
