At ECHO NAIC in Fort Myers, we have several agroforestry demonstrations for training interns, the public, and workers abroad. My question is especially for those that work outside of North America and I would also love feedback from staff at the other ECHO RICs.
- Are there agroforestry systems that are not included on the following list that are especially effective in your context? (please list your location/climate and stories/results)
- Of the ones listed, which have been especially successful in your context?
Here is a list of our current demonstrations:
-Food Forest
-Sloping Agricultural Land Technology (SALT, Contour Lines, Modified Alley Cropping)
-FMNR (Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration)
-Syntropic Agroforestry
-Traditional Alley Cropping
-Urban Gardening (Potted fruit trees)
-Silvopasture Arboretum
-General perennial integration in a farming system
I really value your feedback. It allows us to keep our demonstrations up to date and verify their use/effectiveness for those we are training here.
