Description
The
Forest Service seeks proposals to create regionally-applicable and
practice-specific agroforestry educational materials. These materials will
support natural resource professionals in assisting landowners and producers
with different levels of interest and commitment in implementing an
agroforestry practice. This year’s funding opportunity focuses on practices and
regions where NAC would like to increase available information. Applicants are
required to select at least one of the following options:
A.
Incorporating
trees, shrubs, and other plants in windbreaks that provide an additional source
of income in any region.
B.
Incorporating
trees, shrubs, and other plants in riparian forest buffers that provide an
additional source of income in any region.
C.
Alley
cropping outside of the midwest.
D.
Silvopasture
operations in any region that use livestock other than cattle.
E.
Silvopasture
operations with any type of livestock in the southwest. F. Forest farming
(multi-story cropping) in the Caribbean and Pacific Islands, upper midwest, or west.
These
new resources are to be regionally-specific and relevant to one of the following
practices: windbreaks, riparian buffers, alley cropping, forest farming
(multi-story cropping), or silvopasture as described
in section E. Goals. The expectation is an assembly of publications, videos, and
economic information based on landowner/producer experience and operations.
Examples of landowners and producers practicing agroforestry can be a helpful
motivator for others.
