Presented by Lord Ameyaw, Assistant Professor, School of Natural Resources | University of Nebrasks-Lincoln

Agroforestry has been gaining significant interest in recent times as a climate smart alternative to traditional agricultural practices. However, there are widespread misconceptions and a general lack of knowledge and understanding on what it is or what it is not. Dr. Ameyaw will share some ideas on this topic and discuss some findings from recent research on opportunities, challenges and adoption of agroforestry.
