Yes, I think animals play a vital role in ecosystems and the way we are treating them (both in nature and in our factory farms) is abhorent. That said, a Food Forest could feed many humans and just as many hogs, sheep, goats, and chickens and the closed loop nature of their manure cycles helps the plants regenerate and thrive. Keeping the animals separate from their inputs in absurd once you get to know animals. They don't want to be treated that way. As for figs, YES. I eat a lot of processed figs via "Cereal Bars" but I'm slowly growing my army of Hardy Chicago Figs, I have 10 or so 1 foot tall clones in their own pots, and a single treeform with two tiny figs on it. I'm looking forward to trying a fresh one but apparently collecting fig varieties is a sport for more well established growers. Worth learning how to grow a fig for anyone who isn't at their "forever" home, figs are fine to grow in pots! They are one of the few trees you can do that with because they tolerate swings of drought between watering and thrive in well draining soils having most of their roots very shallow and close to the surface.
