With many agricultural and horticultural practices out in the world,
there are many lines that one can draw in the sand; some useful and some

concepts. So, for the sake of discussion and comprehension it is good to
distinguish one thing from another. In practice, especially in
permaculture design, the lines between forest gardening and forest
farming blur together.
