Agroforestry Demonstration Farms
The Savanna Institute is developing a network of agroforestry demonstration farms in Wisconsin and Illinois. We will convert these farms from conventional row crop agriculture to diversified, regenerative agroforestry. These practices will sequester carbon, promote biodiversity, improve environmental outcomes, and demonstrate the economic viability of perennial crops to regional farmers.
ESG OUTCOMES:
- Nutrient Reduction
- Carbon sequestration
- Protection and restoration of streams and wetlands
