Preface
The Association for Temperate Agroforestry, the Center for Integrated
Natural Resources and Agricultural Management at the University of
Minnesota, the Southwest Badger RC&D in Wisconsin and the USDA
National Agroforestry Center are pleased to host the 9th in
a series of conferences that bring people interested in agroforestry
together from across North America as well as our international colleagues
every two years. The agroforestry group at the University of Minnesota,
the Southwest Badger RC&D as well as our partners in rural Minnesota
and Wisconsin have been working to advance the science and practice
of agroforestry as we move towards integrating agroforestry options
at a landscape level to capture social, economic and environmental
improvement potential that agroforestry systems offer.
This year’s convention has attracted over 140 participants
from several countries including India, Nepal, Pakistan, Cameroon,
Kenya, Mexico, Chile, and Togo, as well as from Canada and the US.
The program included 49 volunteer papers and 28 poster presentations
describing agroforestry technology and its transfer to potential users.
A session dedicated to policy issue in agroforestry included presentations
from the USDA Forest Service NRCS personnel which contributed to the
development of a white paper on policy issues in agroforestry.
The conference offered three field tours:
- Pre Conference Tour – A tour of major agroforestry
initiatives in Minnesota from the predominantly forested northern region
of the state where specialty forest products are an important component
of local livelihoods to highly developed and productive farmlands in
the Southern part of the state.
- Conference Tour – Site visits to major research and
agroforestry initiatives in the Southeast unglaciated region of the
state and the rich agricultural regions of South-central Minnesota.
- Post Conference Tour – A daylong tour of innovative
and profitable agroforestry options in Southwest Wisconsin including
organic production and marketing as well as producers of decorative
woody florals.
