Event: 2014 ECHO International Agriculture Conference (2014-11-18)

Climate change will have its worst effects on the world’s poorest people. Perennial crops and agroforestry systems can help reduce the effects of climate change by sequestering carbon, while also helping to address social and environmental challenges through restoration of degraded land, stabilizing slopes, and improving nutrition and incomes. We’ll review the global palette of perennial farming systems, including agroforestry, managed grazing, and tree crop systems. We’ll also introduce the perennial staple crops that provide protein, carbohydrates, and fats, including established species like breadfruit and new species under development like perennial rice.
