Foundations of Agroforestry

Dive into Indigenous agroforestry as a critical land management practice for the vitality of farms and whole ecosystems!

Indigenous land management practices are deeply holistic, shaped by thousands of years of knowledge and lived experience. These traditions continue to inform contemporary agroforestry practices today, creating pathways for integrated, sustainable land stewardship rooted in place and community.

In this webinar, members of the Forests & Ecosystem Services team at Ecotrust introduce the Indigenous Agroforestry Network, and share how they’re learning, connecting, and collaborating at the intersections of Indigenous land management, and agroforestry. They will review the essential elements of Agroforestry practices, examine the current landscape, and explore challenges and opportunities.

At the end of this webinar, you’ll be able to:

• Understand how to get engaged with the Indigenous Agroforestry Network
• Describe how Indigenous land management knowledge systems have shaped and continue to inform contemporary agroforestry practices.
• Understand the current practice of Indigenous agroforestry
• Identify opportunities for engaging in agroforestry that are meaningful and culturally respectful.
