At the height of the pandemic, farmers were forced to dump millions of pounds of perfectly edible produce. Four years later, they still need help with their surpluses.

Hey y'all,

I stumbled across this free extensive course on permaculture by Oregon state university on YouTube. Thought y'all might be interested.

I've been working on the photobash I posted about apparently two months ago (jeez) and I think I'm getting close to being able to stop working on layout and start working on details. The problem is that the scope of this scene involves a lot of stuff, like agroforestry, that I only read about for making this picture, so I know I don't know enough to render it accurately.

So I thought I'd post again and basically ask what did I mess up? I haven't really started locking stuff down yet so it's a good time to make changes.

The basic goal was to show a small, dense village surrounded by different types of agroforestry, power generation, and agriculture. I'm happy to identify anything that's unclear

I'm especially interested in info on the overall layout. Like, I haven't settled yet on where in the dirt patch the greenhouses will go, and I'd like to add a centralized composting facility, wastewater treatment, possibly some animal barns/grazing areas, possibly a grove of coppiced trees for wood gas/biochar. I'll be adding more houses to both the village proper and the outskirts of the fields in some places.

I'm just a guy who's okay at cutting up photos, so any advice on making the farming more practical/realistic would be a huge help.
