AGROFORESTRY: AN ANCIENT INDIGENOUS TECHNOLOGY WITH WIDE MODERN APPEAL
Regarding agroforestry and the ongoing work we are doing at Seed2Fork: Agroforestry is an ancient Indigenous technology that combines trees with farming to create multifunctional land-use systems. By emphasizing the convergence of forestry and agriculture, these practices contribute to climate-resilient processes and social well-being.
​
In 2016, Seed2Fork launched its first small-scale agroforestry ancestral practices focused on land stewardship and culturally relevant farming for Black, Brown, Latinx, Indigenous, Native American, immigrant, and low-income communities. We have found that growing useful trees, shrubs, and plants together creates a beneficial ecosystem for all species involved. These practices remain an integral part of how we farm throughout Skagit, Snohomish, King, and Pierce Counties.
​
I hope you find this overview of our environmental and social justice–oriented farming methods helpful. Please let me know if you would like to discuss our initiatives further or if there is any additional information I can provide.
