The Wisconsin Council on Forestry's Sound Forestry & Policy Committee will meet to discuss forests and food.
The topic of agroforestry, or combining trees and food production, has gained more attention. We are devoting this session of the Sound Forests and Policy subcommittee of the Council on Forestry to discussing forests and food.
Topics include forestry guidance on:
- silvopasture, or managed grazing under trees
- trees that produce edible nuts and fruits
- markets for land that grows timber and food
- implications for diverse plant and animal communities
- areas where additional guidance would be helpful
Please get in touch with the committee chair, Adena Rissman, for the Zoom information.
