Expanding Agroforestry Program
Grow Profit and Resilience with Agroforestry
Learn how to Cover 75% of the costs
The U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded $36 million to The Nature Conservancy, Propagate, and other partners to fund a 5-year project to advance agroforestry. These practices provide healthy, long-term agricultural production while reducing dependence on external inputs.
Strategies like alley cropping, silvopasture, and windbreaks can compliment existing yields, increasing a farm’s profitability while providing valuable ecosystem services.
