Breadfruit Agroforestry Workshops 2019

Description of Event

Workshop participants will learn how to design, establish, and maintain agroforestry systems that include breadfruit. Hands-on exercises during the workshop will prepare participants to apply new skills in planning using methods developed by the workshop presenters. Participants will also learn about creating dishes and products with breadfruit and other crops grown together with breadfruit.

This workshop is presented with support from Western SARE for agricultural professionals, growers, processors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, educators, extension agents, and others interested in regenerating breadfruit.

This groundbreaking workshop builds upon the time-tested methods of Pacific Islanders, bringing traditional knowledge into a modern context while retaining the cultural roots of breadfruit. We look forward to very full and rewarding workshops.
