Wood was necessary to grow food, harvest food, process food, cook food, store food, and transport it to market. And there were lots of trees used in lots of different ways. A few provided edibles - fruits and nuts, sweet sap and medicinal bark, but for the most part, trees provided the infrastructure required to get food on the board.
