2 COMMUNITY FOOD FORESTS: FRUITFUL AND FIRE-SMART Catherine Bukowski Researcher & Consultant Virginia Tech & communityfoodforests.com Ann Audrey Chair Linking Edible Arizona Forests (LEAF) Network
3 Community Food Forests Catherine Bukowski, PhD Candidate, Virginia Tech Committee: John Munsell- Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation & Forest Management Extension Specialist Paul Kelsch- Department of Landscape Architecture Kim Niewolny- Department of Agricultural, Leadership, and Community Education in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Jim Chamberlain- Southern Research Station, USDA Forest Service
4 Community Food Forest Research Sites Visited During Sites are mapped over EPA Level II Ecoregions of North America. Ecoregions are areas where ecosystems are typically similar- they are useful for structuring and implementing ecosystem management strategies across organizations.
5 2013 As of 2018, over 75 urban food forestry projects have been found through online searches or word of mouth.
6 What is a community food forest? A place where people come together to collaboratively grow food using an ecologically designed system based on structural and functional patterns found in forest ecosystems. Community Food Forest Public food commons Multifunctional green infrastructure
7 Beacon Food Forest, Seattle, WA (2009) AGROFORESTRY- A land use management system that intentionally integrates trees with agricultural crops and/or livestock to create economically viable and environmentally sustainable food production. PERMACULTURE- Philosophy + and Design Approach based on whole-systems thinking and ecological patterns and observations. The foundation is three basic ethics and a set of design principles that can be adapted and applied to many types of systems.
8 Research Information Research Criteria Open to the public- for harvesting Multiple vegetation layers- at least three Community participation- Community members are involved either in planning, establishing, maintaining, or harvesting Not Located on an academic campus- Creates a different situation Data Collection Individual Interviews Focus Groups with initiative leaders and participants Video Tours of the food forest given by a site leader Photo documentation
9 Ten-Year Urban Forestry Action Plan Goal 1: Integrate Urban and Community Forestry Into All Scales of Planning Goal 2: Promote the Role of Urban and Community Forestry in Human Health and Wellness Goal 3: Cultivate Diversity, Equity, and Leadership Within the Urban Forestry Community Goal 4: Strengthen Urban and Community Forest Health and Biodiversity for Long-Term Resilience Goal 5: Improve Urban and Community Forest Management, Maintenance and Stewardship Goal 6: Diversify, Leverage, and Increase Funding for Urban and Community Forestry Goal 7: Education & Awareness

35 Future Directions Climate Smart Urban Green Infrastructure- How can community food forests contribute? How much carbon sequestration is occurring and how to optimize site design to increase contributions? How much impact is there on localized urban heat island effect near sites? Drought Resistance Native Species Fire Prevention Living Germplasm Repository Bioretention Areas & Stormwater Management- Are toxins an issue? Where are they being held in plant tissue? How can this be accounted for in site preparation as well as short and long term planning? Novel Ecosystems/Urban Conservation- How are these sites contributing to biodiversity? Pollinator habitat? Bird habitat? Are seeds of non-native species planted in these sites being spread to nearby areas within park systems or waterways?
