Someone knows of a well described protocol for caracterising optical porosity of a windbreak ?

For our High School senior engineering project my group is looking into soil testing with a focus on sustainability. The flaws, the uses, regularity, etc...

We created this survey to collect data on farmers from large operations to home growing operations. It would be greatly appreciated if you could fill out this survey and give us any information you can. Sharing this survey with others would also be fantastic.

Rwanda is on a path to net zero emissions by 2050, and trees are at the heart of this green revolution! Smallholder farmers have planted over 50 million trees, contributing to carbon sequestration and environmental resilience. With 61% of the country now covered by agroforestry landscapes and significant restoration of degraded forests, Rwanda is leading the way in climate action.

Hi there! I'm looking for case studies of agroforestry projects in northern climate that combine grazing animals with forage and reforestation, possibly with some focused on Christmas trees? 🌲🐄

A new study reveals that Homegarden Agroforestry (HGAF) systems are outperforming other land use types in both carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation. With 171.17 Mg C ha⁻¹ of carbon stored, HGAF is almost doubling the carbon stock compared to exclosures and croplands. This is a game-changer in the fight against climate change! 💪 Discover how traditional farming practices can lead the way in modern climate solutions. 🌿 https://groundtruth.app/unsung-carbon-heros-agroforestry-in-ethiopia/

Hello. I am a Regenerative Agriculture practitioner. I will be travelling in LATAM for some months after January 2025. I would like to be working for some time on a farm or to attend an in person workshop/course regarding agroforestry design and management. I would like to get references regarding nice courses for practitioners in the field (professional level). Any tips, recommendations, contact details will be very much appreciated! Thanks .

Discover how Greenstand's TreeTracker project is transforming reforestation and sustainability efforts. Through an innovative "pay-to-grow" model, TreeTracker directly compensates local farmers for growing and nurturing trees, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem. Leveraging advanced technology, the project tracks environmental assets, contributing to carbon sequestration and supporting local economies. The open-source framework invites collaboration from communities, developers, and global citizens, driving meaningful environmental and social impact. https://groundtruth.app/greenstands-treetracker-tracking-trees-empowering-communities/

Ground Truth Data is attempting to compile a list of resources around the world for purchasing seed for mass reforestation projects. Please feel free to comment or dm if you know of any that could be added 🤠🌲

Hi guys, I'm getting more and more interested in agroforestry as a sustainable alternative to conventional farming. However, since there is a broad range of agroforestry, I'm trying to zoom in on specifics a bit to build up from there to the full system. Now I heard about the Anna Paulowna tree as a great potential biomass producer for lumber, but also possible in combination with dairy cattle. Does anyone have experience with this? And in what combination would it be useful to apply?

I am trying to use technology to reach new people and introduce my product that I made from so much hard work.

No one in reddit want to see my hard work how they are easily saying that I am promoting or fake or do not promote.

I don't know why people don't want to see something tat helps environment and human health. Everyone like memes and all but when sharing helpful information one can always comes and comments like stop promoting and all.

Why these people are not supporting small farmers?

A disregarded 3x5 meter area & pile of dying trees at our entrance is being regenerated to a syntropic agroforestry garden :)

Everyone in the community is helping and it’s moving 🤩🤩🤩

First we are setting up the ground work to create a forest floor.
