Agroforestry Case Studies: Building Resilience on Working Lands

Agroforestry is the intentional integration of trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems to create environmental, economic, and social benefits.

We visited some of the farmers in CAMF’s Diversified Agriculture and Agroforestry cohort to learn about how they are using agroforestry as a strategy to build resilience. Ranging across the Northeast, these farms have all incorporated multiple agroforestry practices into their operations, in varied ways. Click each link to download the case studies and learn more.
