After attending this workshop participants can expect to be able to: <ol><li>Understand the benefits of, and differences between, different types of agroforestry.</li><li>Connect farm objectives to agroforestry design processes.</li><li>Consider practical agroforestry design parameters (e.g. orientation, spacing etc.)</li><li>Identify ideal placements for different systems across a whole farm landscape.</li><li>Apply theoretical learnings to a real farm landscape</li></ol> This workshop is directed at farmers, growers, landworkers, agricultural advisors, land agents, and students who have basic but limited knowledge of agroforestry.
