Agroforestry seems like a promising approach for the Midwest: It offers a range of environmental, ecological, and economic benefits, while potentially addressing climate change concerns.

Thanks Cécile! Sounds like you are a real farmer. It took me a long time to be able to say that I am a farmer and I like to remind people that they can and are able to say the same, no matter what scale they are operating at. I hope that the next generation knows that. I hope we can remove the size of the farm from the definition of the farm so that we can have more local, small scale food system solutions.

I have a number of trees, some chicken, elderberries, chokeberries, sunchokes and a lot of apple trees. I think the future of good farming is a mix of forests and pastures.
