The Restoration Agriculture scene might be interesting to you.
I can't find a great page to link to, but this has a decent, short description of what they are doing:

> Trees, shrubs, vines, canes, perennial plants and fungi are planted in association with one another to produce food (for humans and animals), fuel, medicines, and beauty. Hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts and various fruits are the primary woody crops. The farm is entirely solar and wind powered and farm equipment is powered with locally produced biofuels that are not taken from the human food chain.
The part that interests me is, they can grow half as much of a crop per acre as a monoculture, but they can do it for like 10 different crops in the same area.
And they don't have to spray it with poison, so there are cool things like tree frogs out there.
