Basics

  • The Edible Seeds Inside the Pinecones of Certain Species of Pine Trees
  • Their More Difficult Harvesting, Long Time Required for Trees to Mature and Produce Pine Nuts, As Well As Their Lower Profitability Compared to Other Crops Has Resulted in Limited Cultivation
  • However the Market is Growing, and from a Permaculture / Food Forest perspective that may not matter as much!
  • Also Non-Timber Forest Products can be more sustainable than conventional forestry (often Clear Cutting or Slash and Burn etc) while still providing a livelihood for the local people
