 I wish there were accessible people with experience who could help you plan a companion plant combination that would outcompete natural flora and replace it with perennial food bearing plants. 
 They're here, but the one I know probably won't help you, based on your previous interactions with her. 
 I hate to say it but...GPT? 
 It is possible in certain ways. I would use both plants and animals to accomplish it. Depends on climate, scale, goals. I am sure you are versed in the basics of permaculture and the examples of Lawton, Falk, Sepp and Hemenway 
 I wish I could remember who was interviewed on the The Survival Podcast, but there is a guy/group working on software to help with all of that based on your zip code.  I probably heard the interview close to a year ago, so I would think it is at least somewhat functional now.  Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the guy or the group.

 Yes, but I can't remember the name of the guy Jack interviewed.

Do you know a source for this kind of thing?

 Do you have any indigenous peoples in your area?
(Not being flippant, or snarky)

In my area of the Sonoran desert we have a seed bank and organization dedicated to methods used by a number of different groups native to the area. 
 Great question. I actually went to the Tribal Center some years ago asking questions about indigenous plants. I got the feeling that for at least the people I was talking to, that part of their cultural knowledge is significantly diminished if not gone. I might try a different reservation.
