AFTA's Mission & Vision

Agroforestry systems are an integral part of agricultural and forested landscapes in temperate North America. Agroforestry systems support ecological regeneration, improve climate regulation, and increase the viability of farms and communities.

AFTA's mission is to grow and support a diverse and dynamic agroforestry community who works to create conditions for greater adoption and continuation of agroforestry systems in temperate North America.

The Agroforestry Community

AFTA welcomes anyone interested in agroforestry to participate. In order to form a broad-based agroforestry constituency, we are growing a diverse agroforestry community of farmers, land stewards, educators, technical assistance providers, researchers, community organizers, policy makers, and value chain contributors.
