Future of Forest Farming

“Forests are more than trees! To manage for biodiversity, we must consider the understory vegetation that is harvested for subsistence and commercial gain.”  

Future of forest farming

We do a great job managing forests for timber and wildlife, but we do very little to manage those same forests for food or medicine and other assets available within the forest ecosystem. 

Since interest in forest farming is still in its infancy in this country, many believe that through these efforts we will discover opportunities to grow food, rebuild soils, restore aquifers and mitigate the effects of floods and droughts.

That is farming well worth your efforts!
