Vermont Agency of Agriculture Food & Markets Agroforestry integrates agriculture and forestry techniques to create more diverse, productive, and sustainable land-use systems. Agriforestry has tremendous potential to reduce greenhouse gases, improve biodiversity, increase yield and crop diversity, enhance food access, and much more.

Through a project aiming to improve agroforestry technical assistance, participating farms will receive two years of free technical services and a robust planting budget. If your organization or farmer constituents are interested in applying, please email Meghan by January 30th, 2022.
