A landuse=orchard is any area of perennial shrubs and trees which is used to produce food. In the tropics this tag is used for bananas tea and coffee, and oil date palms, all of which are not exactly “orchards” in the British sense. This was proposed in the original vote.
So if Wikipedia is correct that “ The three main products from a forest garden are fruit, nuts and green leafy vegetables <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf_vegetable>.“ it is probably mainly landuse=orchard + landuse=farmland as a secondary use. I also see that these are called a “huerto familiar” in Mexico, which literally means “family orchard”. Perhaps landuse=orchard + orchard=forest_garden would work? Note that we previously discussed a similar issue with areas that are used as orchards + pasture in Spain, if I recall Since almost any 2 types of agricultural land can be combined, it might be better to think about a wholistic solution, since as a way to tag the secondary landuse or secondary vegetation of a certain area. - Joseph On Thu, Jul 30, 2020 at 7:22 AM Justin Tracey <j3tra...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 2020-07-30 7:40 a.m., Paul Allen wrote: > > On Thu, 30 Jul 2020 at 12:34, joost schouppe <joost.schou...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> >> Someone tried to map a "food forest" near me. >> > > The best I could come up with, given that it described itself as part > orchard, > was landuse=orchard.
