Profitable Farms and Woodlands: A Practical Guide to Agroforestry for Landowners, Farmers and Ranchers


Profitable Farms and Woodlands
New resource on agroforestry is available.
A much needed practical guide in Agroforestry has been developed by a team of agroforestry specialists from the 1890 and 1862 Land Grant Universities and the USDA National Agroforestry Center (NAC), led by the 1890 Agroforestry Consortium. Retired UK Forestry Extension professor, Deborah Hill Ph.D. was one of the lead authors of the guide. The purpose of the guide is to assist underserved and limited resources farmers and woodland owners to adopt best management technologies in agroforestry. The guide depicts step-by-step methods and principles on developing agroforestry practices for farmers and woodland owners for the purpose of enhancing the economic and environmental benefits of their farms and woodlands. A copy of the guide can be found at www.ukforestry.org
