Agroforestry Roundtable

Join Mark Shepard + Karen Vanek (New Forest Farm, Restoration Agricultural Development and Forest Agriculture Nursery) and Lindsay Napolitano + Johann Rinkens (Fields Without Fences), in a conversation about the newly burgeoning field agroforestry in the Northeast. Hear about their strategies and techniques to utilize agriculture to restore the ecology of our lands while providing an abundance of local food, fiber, fodder, and medicine. Together they will explain how they catalyze the restoring of degraded landscapes into healthy agricultural ecosystems to be a model for the well-being of the populace through economic viability of farm operations and empowered livelihoods.
