I evaluate the current status of landscape design, ranging from fundamental ecological principles to resulting guidelines and socioeconomic tools. While research gaps remain, the time is right for ecologists to engage with other disciplines, stakeholders, and policymakers in education and advocacy to foster agricultural landscape design for sustainable and resilient biodiversity services.

Urbanization is great, but who has a plan for environmentally sustainable urban spaces: Successful management of urban growth, integration of green spaces, wetlands, sustained organic food supply, proper waste management, energy management, controlling air pollution, better environment, and biodiversity around. Adding a layer of vegetation to rooftops and creating green roofs has proven to reduce the urban heat island effect and influences by causing a positive impact on reducing rainwater runoff. This discussion undertaken from a planner’s perspective addressing the various interests of many city dwellers.

A good grower must-have skills that can be acquired through innate ability, skills and experience. Collectively these special skills are what commonly known as "a green Thumb"

If you have several restoration projects or even one large one extending over several years, you may choose to set up a community nursery or even grow your own plants.

The goal is to add trees without blocking too much light from hitting the ground, which could suppress forage growth. Trees can be planted in rows, clusters, or evenly spaced in an orchard-like planting. Fast growing species such as locust, alder, willow, Neem, ficus and poplar offer an advantage because they can quickly grow above browse height, which allows for faster integration with grazing management. 

As a key component of agricultural sustainability, organic fertilizer contributes greatly to improving soil fertility.  the idea of organic farming was acceptable to develop an organic agriculture system. The use of organic fertilizers has advantage of being cheap, improving soil structure, texture and aeration increasing the soils water retention abilities and stimulating healthy root development. 

The loss of the world’s fertile soil and biodiversity, along with the loss of indigenous seeds and knowledge, pose a mortal threat to our future survival. According to soil scientists, at current rates of soil destruction (i.e., decarbonization, erosion, desertification, chemical pollution), within 50 years we will not only suffer serious damage to public health due to a qualitatively degraded food supply characterized by diminished nutrition and loss of important trace minerals, but we will literally no longer have enough arable topsoil to feed ourselves. Discussions include how holistic manage farm land practice that leverages the power of photosynthesis in plants to close the carbon cycle, and build soil health, crop resilience and nutrient density.
