The 5-year old forest project demonstrated in this video is located in Santa Barbara, California. The video was filmed during 2015, the fourth year of one of California’s worst droughts in modern history. Within this forest setting we see that it is indeed possible to combine reforestation and food production by planting appropriate species. Such species are naturally drought-tolerant, and, with a little breeding work, could rise to prominence in agriculture, thereby reducing agriculture’s dependence on irrigation.
