Resources for covering agroforestry

 

The Savanna Institute provides press interviews and public presentations about agroforestry, a top climate and conservation solution. Farmers who practice agroforestry integrate trees, crops and pastured animals on their farms, which creates a cascade of benefits for the ecosystem. Scientists rank agroforestry as the top agricultural practice for drawing down carbon for the climate. The Savanna Institute works with farmers and scientists in the Midwest to lay the groundwork for widespread agroforestry adoption. Connect with us to learn more about our research, education, and outreach work to support diverse, perennial farming systems that incorporate trees.

Savanna Institute staff members offer press interviews and public presentations. Request an interview with our Communications Team to coordinate.
