Green Horizons

Take the opportunity to learn more about the development and adoption of agroforestry at the 11th North American Agroforestry Conference, hosted by the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry and the Association for Temperate Agroforestry. The conference will be May 31-June 3, 2009 (yes, that’s ’09!), at the Stoney Creek Inn, Columbia, Mo. The conference will provide a forum for individuals associated with or practicing agroforestry to share their experiences and discuss production, environmental and social attributes of different agroforestry practices. There will be plenary and concurrent sessions, a poster session, field trips and time for discussion that focus on the successes, opportunities and constraints of agroforestry. Special emphasis will be placed on practical examples of agroforestry practices and on technology transfer to producers.

A great learning opportunity in our own backyard!
