Are you passionate about increasing agricultural self-reliance for Hawaii Island? Do you want to reduce the cost of your farm inputs, while diversifying the types of crops you grow? Join us in this hands-on course to learn the art and science of agroforestry - the productive integration of multi purpose trees and shrubs within an agricultural setting.
A learn-by-doing workshop for both new and seasoned farmers, this 4-day intensive design training will include hands-on interactions with multifunctional tropical and subtropical plant species to integrate into your farm or homestead, an agroforestry plan for a current agricultural operation, and training on the ecology of farms in the tropics and subtropics. No prerequisites necessary. The course will culminate with an integrated agroforestry design for the host site.

Course Dates: June 4, 11, 18, and 25 [6-hour sessions, over 4 Saturdays]
Location: UH-Hilo Farm in Panaewa
