Using Small Edible Landscapes to Make Big Change
We speak with author, educator, and edible-ecosystem designer Zach Loeks from Eastern Ontario.
A former market gardener, Loeks has converted his farm into the production of berries, fruit, and edible perennials.
He is also the director of the Ecosystem Solution Institute (https://www.ecosystemsolutioninstitute.com/), which is involved in education projects such as an edible-biodiversity conservation area near Ottawa, Ontario. The site includes herbs, fruit trees, berry bushes, and ground covers, all labelled with interpretive signs.
He believes that many small actions can add up to big change. In his new book, The Edible Ecosystem Solution, he talks about ways to grow edibles, even in small spaces.
