This is how efficient farms have worked for centuries. Orchards full of fruit trees, with sheep grazing the grass underneath, bees pollinating the flowers, and pigs in the scrubland next door to feed the windfalls to. Maximising land use to its full potential, unlike the farming monocultures of today.
