Analog Forestry
Biology: An organ or structure that is similar in function to one in another kind of organism. Chemistry: A structural derivative of a parent compound that often differs from it by a single element.
The science of planting and taking care of trees and managing forests

History
Initially practiced in Guatemala and California in the 1970s Based on the traditional home gardens of tropical Asia Concepts were tested on the ground in Sri Lanka in 1983 The International Analog Forestry Network was created in 1996 to develop and popularize the AF model

Why restoration?

The worlds life support systems are threatened by deforestation, monoculture plantations, landgrabs and the degradation of forest ecosystems, all of which should be seen as opportunities for restoration

The Analog Forest way


1. Record the structure of the natural forest with the help of a physiognomic formula 2. Mapping and ecological evaluation of the degraded area that shall be reforested

3. Use a database to find out about the properties of the plants you want to grow
Function (Database)

Design (Map)

Structure (Formula)

4. Design your food forest

Mimicking nature
Observe and record the architecture and ecological functions of the natural forest
Select species that are analogous in structure and function to plants in the mature forest

Use ecological succession to reach your goal of a mature ecosystem
