Agroforestry Regional Knowledge Exchange Network
The Agroforestry Regional Knowledge Exchange Network (ARKx) is a peer and partner network that connects agroforestry producers, organizations and resources across the regional and national landscape. By helping to connect stakeholders tools and resources, we are creating a vibrant network and future for agroforestry from the ground up.
In 2022, the Catalyzing Agroforestry Grant Program (CAGP) received funding from the Edwards Mother Earth Foundation and the Southeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program to expand agroforestry implementation. After completion of these projects, awardees participated in peer-to-peer exchanges to share knowledge, successes, and lessons learned. This support network was rooted in a SARE Professional Development Grant titled "Expanding the Agroforestry Regional Knowledge Exchange Network in Virginia." ​
​
Since then, the program and its collective knowledge base have grown significantly. In 2023, we launched CatalyzingAgroforestry.org to host the third round of the CAGP and support the expanding ARKx Network. Fast forward to 2026, and what emerged as a regional effort has now branched out across the country. The ARKx Network is thrilled to collaborate with numerous agroforestry partners, coalitions, and groups to evolve this initiative to support the agroforestry community across the United States.
