I like Austrian farmer Sepp Holzer's books, his farming and gardening methods are efficient, less effort, less orderly and more natural. One of his methods to reduce loss of harvest because of grazing by wild animal, is - to grow more. He plants wild fruit trees and sows root/seed crops in his land around the farmed areas to provide food for wild animals. When they can find enough to eat, there will be less attack on his cash crops.
This is the vision for my land too. Whenever there is an area that could be planted, I will think twice about having flowers or fruits.
This is a bed of mixed fruit bushes, with goji berry at the back, blue berry in the front and some less common ones like Blue honeysuckle berry, Huckleberry, Myrtle, and some wild ones mostly eaten by birds, like Black Chokeberry and Juneberry, both have fruits that are edible by humans but not the most tasty (sweet) ones. All these berries are very high in antioxidants and nutrients. I ordered them from this website:
