A NEW WAY OF SEEING AGROFORESTRY
Livelihood diversification through agroforestry has multiple social, economic and environmental benefits which can be demonstrated on this platform. Cultures, gastronomies, and rural livelihoods have, in many ways, been shaped by the diversity of “working trees” available.
The platform is freely accessible to everyone (especially the non-expert audience) to increase visibi-lity and make agroforestry the core framework for tomorrow’s farming and food (r)evolution!
