Food forest calculation tool

Tool for calculation of financial performance of food forests                                       

The Food Forest Calculation Tool is an Excel file that calculates the financial feasibility of an (agricultural) food forest based on various parameters. The Calculation Tool can be used as a design tool to make the most realistic possible estimate of the profitability of an existing food forest. A margin of uncertainty remains due to, for example, fluctuating purchase and sales prices and crop losses. The tool contains approximately 200 commonly used plant species.
