Interessant: de opbrengst van een hectare voedselbos is hoger (€€) dan van graan, snijmais of grasland. "Voedselbossen zijn hard nodig om natuur én boerenbedrijven te behouden": www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

The quote from Sylvia Plath, "Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it," reflects her deep connection to the present moment and an acute awareness of the fleeting nature of life.
