I'm looking at pursuing a masters in Agroforestry this coming year, starting in September. I'm from the north eastern United States, and the north eastern US/southeastern Canada interests me most as a place of work, where I'd eventually like to settle down- though I don't suppose I am attached to working around here right off the bat. While Laval offers what seems to be an excellent agroforestry program in Quebec, it's way too expensive for me. I have already been given an offer of admission from Bangor University in Wales (MSc in agroforestry and food security), but I'm also eyeing up the natural resources degree with an emphasis in agroforestry that's program in Quebec, it's way too expensive for me. I have already been given an offer of admission from Bangor University in Wales, but I'm also eyeing up the natural resources degree with an emphasis in agroforestry that Missouri university offers, as it seems to have coursework more pertinent to the things I want to specifically learn. Does anyone with experience with either of those two institutions have any input to share? They both seem pretty reputable, and like they have good programs but I would love to hear from anyone who has studied or taught at either of those two places. Thanks y'all!

Hey! We run a small holiday villa on an abandoned wetland coconut plantation close to Galle town, Sri Lanka. (for context: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qpFfFNMkKqQomg3U9)

Every rainy season our land becomes part of the river, and so it's been a challenge diversifying the types of plants we try to grow, due to some thriving more than others.

Anyway, I digress! Two of our older trees have died and been uprooted by the water; it's with a heavy heart that I'll have to remove them to prevent damage to either the house or saplings. The trees are around 15ft tall cerbera odollam/pong pongs; I was wondering what the community might suggest I do to repurpose this wood? I already have a few ideas but interested to know your thoughts!

​

Thanks,

It's philosophical and practical. I thought it was so beautiful. What do y'all think?

Hey 👋

I've been learning about regenerative agriculture for a while now, and of all the practices within it, I'm getting a lot of validation that thoughtful agroforestry can restore life to land relatively rapidly. However I'm in the northern hemisphere (zone 7), and most of the great resources I've seen on agroforestry seem to be coming out of the tropics.

If anyone has any names, links, or social media accounts of people successfully applying agroforestry to grow annual vegetables in colder climates, please share!

I'm wanting to follow along, learn, and be inspired by others' experiences while I am looking for land. I've got lots of warm-climate examples, and I'd love to have lots more cold-climate examples.

What "lines of defense" would you plant on a southern facing 15 degree slope to protect everything "behind" it from a hurricane?

I'm in the Azores, Portugal, in Zone 11a.

Three rows deep of Oak, Chestnut, or Cedar, for example?
