We provide agricultural extension support to farmers and land managers who are interested in agroforestry, including educational classes and farm tours, tree crop variety trials, focused support for agroforestry-oriented BIPOC farmers and aspiring landowners (in close coordination with Khuba International), agroforestry product development and processing support (in collaboration with the New York Tree Crop Alliance and Cornell AgriTech), and agroforestry workforce development (focused on nursery production and tree planting).
