a major component of land-
transformation, loss of
wetlands, and deforestation
with resulting degradation
of ecosystems services
worldwide” (Grimm et al. 2000).

EPA vs. KCMO“Kansas City, Missouri, to Spend $2.5 Billion to
Eliminate Sewer Overflows.”
“Since 2002, Kansas City has experienced approximately 1,294 illegal sewer overflows, including at least 138 unpermitted combined sewer overflows, 390 sanitary sewer overflows, and 766 backups in buildings and private properties. The overflows are in violation of the federal Clean Water Act and the terms of the city’s National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permits
for operation of its sewer system.”
(DOJ 2010).

2011 USDA Agroforestry Strategic Framework (ASF)
• Suggests a focus on the integration of agroforestry with food production in urban areas.
• Adoption of agroforestry principles should start with urban populations and landscapes (USDA 2011).

Ecosystems Services Benefits people derive from their Landbase
• Provisioning resources, such as of food and water;
• Regulating, such as the control of water, climate and disease;
• Supporting, such as nutrient cycles and crop pollination;
• Cultural, such as spiritual, aesthetic and recreational benefits.

Intentionally Designed Perennial Urban Food Production
Distributed at the neighborhood landscape level local ecosystem services can be increased.
• food provisioning, biodiversity, pollinators, soil building, water retention and filtering, nutrient cycling
• Cultural ecosystems services such as food security, recreational and employment opportunities and spiritual well-being

New Temperate Agroforestry Practice?
• Urban Food Forest (UFF) was coined by Swedish researchers, Clark and Nicholas in a 2013 paper to describe a set of practices based on home gardens, community orchards and perennial urban agriculture.
– Not Forest farming
– Intentionally designed Woody Perennial Polyculture (WPP)
– Important Eco-Social development

Agroecology
Application of ecological concepts and principles to the design and management of sustainable agroecosystems
Focus
• Environmental and human elements of agroecosystems.
• Form, dynamics and functions of elements
• Interrelationships and processes in which they are involved
(Altieri 2000), (Gliessman, 1998).
![Page 17: URBAN AGROFORESTRY: CONNECTING AGROECOLOGY, PERMACULTURE ... agro/Talks/Mann... · urban agroforestry: connecting agroecology, permaculture, urban forestry and urban agriculture into](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011723/5a81537a7f8b9aee018d1c22/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Agroecological Design Goals• maximize beneficial interactions between
plant species
• mimicking the structural and functional relationships of natural ecosystems
• sustainable production of agronomic crops
• preserving and restoring ecosystem services
• economic viability,
• Vibrant Communities

Agroforestry
Intensive land-base management practice consisting of the integration of trees and woody perennials with agricultural crops and/or livestock.
• Intentionally managed
• Multi level optimization of components
• Long term planning
• Economic viability
(Lassoie et al. 2009)

Agroforestry Increasing Sustainability
“ agroforestry can show its mettle in terms of environmental sustainability, even with low use of external inputs. Sustainability can be described in terms of conserving the soil, enhancing biodiversity, conserving carbon in terrestrial ecosystems, and enhancing nutrient capture and retention.”
Sanchez, P.A. 1995 Science in agroforestry. Springer.

Benefits for Neighborhoods
• “The forest garden...supplies people’s spiritual needs by its beauty and the wealth of wildlife that it attracts.”
Robert Hart 1996
• Gardening decreases
street crime
• Healthy Food availability
• Neighborhood Turn Around

Permaculture Design
“Permaculture is the conscious
design and maintenance of
agriculturally productive
ecosystems which have the
diversity, stability, and
resilience of natural ecosystems.
It is the harmonious integration of landscape and
people providing their food, energy, shelter, and
other material and non-material needs in a
sustainable way” (Mollison, 1988).

Conclusions • Urban ecosystems can become more sustainable using
agroecological system design, agroforestry, permaculture and edible landscaping .
• These practices can lessen the ecological footprint of urban areas by increasing the production of ecosystems services.
• Urban Food Forests are valuable Eco-Cultural Agroforestry Systems
• More WPP Research needed
• Urban Agroforesters needed
