Expanding Agroforestry Project is sponsored by U.S. Department of Agriculture (via Appalachian Sustainable Development and The Nature Conservancy). This program, funded through the USDA's Advancing Markets for Producers initiative, seeks farmers interested in applying agroforestry techniques to their lands. It provides funding and technical assistance for practices such as silvopasture, alley cropping, and windbreaks.
The goal is to help farmers get multiple uses out of their land, improve production, and strengthen markets for agroforestry products like nuts, fruits, timber, and livestock. Appalachian Sustainable Development (ASD) is working with The Nature Conservancy to encourage farmers in Southwest Virginia and northeast Tennessee to apply for the current cycle.
