Description
Savanna Institute works to lay the groundwork for widespread agroforestry adoption in the Midwest US through collaboration with farmers and scientists. Their mission is inspired by the native savanna ecosystems that once covered much of this region. They explore the potential of diverse woody cropping systems to become ecologically sound, agriculturally productive, and economically viable alternatives to the corn-soybean rotation that currently dominates midwestern agriculture.
