One reason I keep harping on food value rather than total food production.  Inter-planting annuals amidst the perennials will lower tonnage of food production.  Not going to be able to tucker-down to a 12 ounce steak every night.  

It will raise the total amount of nutrition per acre (hectare) by raising the amount of fruit, vegetables, berries, etc. produced. And you don't need a 12 ounce steak every night.  4 ounces of animal protein per meal is enough.

england should plant loads of walnuts, they can be very productive, and an excellent oil can be made from their meats.

i bet many excellent products could be created from them, and the wood is great.

also edible bamboo, wonderfully productive plant
