Ecosystem Spot

Finally, we zoom into a practical piece of land, the unit of possible achievement, and an effective goal for human habitat generation. What is the value of 25 square feet of lawn? Imagine the return on a spot of edible ecosystem compared to a typical micro-landscape of sod, or compacted dirt, or excess concrete!

How many services can be had from an average available greenspace if it’s converted to edible ecosystem?

Value of 25 Square Feet

Speaking of human benefit from land, the value of any square footage of yard should be examined in terms of its input and output. What does it cost to care for an existing 25 square feet of lawn vs. the beneficial outputs of an edible ecosystem? We must consider the full services and potential and impact of our landscapes; every micro-landscape is worth investing in for higher return and less environmental degradation.

“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.”

— Henry David Thoreau22
