About this event

Event lasts 6 hours

If you are a farmer, technical service provider or forested landowner and are ready to learn more about the agroforestry practice of forest farming, this training is for you. Forest farming is the intentional integration of farming crops under the canopy of the forest and can build diversity and resilience into farming systems.

Land managers' increasing interest in agroforestry has produced a growing need for technical assistance. Join us and learn about the principles, design considerations, benefits, and challenges of farming in the forest.
