Catalyzing widespread adoption of agroforestry
On-Farm Education
We offer educational opportunities for beginning farmers and ag professionals to learn about tree crops and perennial farm management at farms throughout the Midwest.
Agroforestry Apprenticeships
Demonstration Farms
Support for Landholders
We offer technical assistance to farmers, communities, Tribes, and institutions to help them add agroforestry to their land and apply for cost-share funding from the USDA and other partners.
Technical Service
Savanna Institute’s Technical Service Program helps you take advantage of resources available to plant trees on your pastures, fields, and waterways. Technical Service Providers offer one-on-one support for planning, designing, and securing financial assistance for an agroforestry system.
Water Quality Program
Planting trees on farms and along shorelines can reduce nutrient pollution in local lakes, rivers, and streams. Our Water Quality Program establishes demonstration farms around the Great Lakes, and shares research and education on the potential for agroforestry systems to meet the challenge of the water crisis.
