Webinar: Why and How to Plan a Silvopasture Program for Your Ag Operation
Learn from Mark Shepard who heads Restoration Agriculture Development and Forest Agriculture Nursery, and the author of the award-winning book, Restoration Agriculture: Real-World Permaculture for Farmers. Restoration Agriculture is based off his experiences at, New Forest Farm, and represents his belief in the ability of sustainably grown perennial food crops to feed us into “our resource-compromised future”.
New Forest Farm was once a worn-out row crop farm and has since become a 106-acre showcase commercial-scale perennial agricultural operation. It is considered by many to be one of the most ambitious sustainable agriculture projects in the United States.
