SRC’s agroforestry experts specialize in providing applied research and information on current practices in agroforestry using a variety of tools to help you effectively approach healthy, sustainable land use systems.
Agroforestry is an intensive land management system that is based on the benefits of biological interactions created when trees, shrubs or vegetation are combined with annual crops, forage or livestock.
