Should add sunchokes/Jerusalem artichoke in there somewhere, as they are food. I don't think kudzu is? Lets replace that one.

Sunchokes spread like crazy as long as they have full sun, and are super difficult to eradicate, but are thwarted by being planted in sunny clearings in densely wooded areas. They can’t spread into the shade.

Make the land difficult for development, but useful for the community!

Kudzu is actually edible. It can also be used to make clothing and baskets. It improves soil by fixing nitrogen (it's a legume) and prevents erosion. It's so prevalent in the US because of its usefulness in preventing erosion. It can be used for animal feed. Issue is that it out competes native species, not that it isn't useful
