Agroforestry!

This is an incredibly simple example—there are agroforestry systems practiced by indigenous people in various parts of the world that incorporate 5-20 different crops.

The “Three Sisters” (Corn, beans, and squash) are another example of a polyculture system

But you gotta think bigger than simply combining crops—a lot of problems in USA food production system are because we just don’t eat a lot of the edible plants that naturally grow as “weeds” in our agricultural environment
