Technology Transfer

• The following publications are available from http://www.centerforagroforestry.org/pubs/index.asp or http://muextension.missouri.edu
  • Green Horizons Newsletter - Green Horizons is a free, quarterly newsletter produced by the Center for Agroforestry in conjunction with the University of Missouri Extension Forestry division and several sponsors representing Missouri's forestry and natural resources industries. Articles feature a variety of topics related to forestry and agroforestry, including forest health and management; community and urban forestry; value-added products produced through agroforestry; upcoming forestry and natural resources events; tree health and care; and new market opportunities.
  • The Chestnut Growers Newsletter - The Chestnut Growers of America is the western hemisphere's premier organization for chestnut producers, consumers, retailers and distributors. A diverse membership spanning internationally, as well as both coasts and the Midwest, helps contribute to articles on chestnut production, harvesting, marketing and expansion of the industry. The Center for Agroforestry produces the The Chestnut Grower newsletter quarterly as a tool for increasing consumer awareness and demand, as well as landowner production, of this versatile, sweet nut that holds great potential as a successful cash-crop for Missouri agricultural producers.
  • Agroforestry Practices DVD: The Center for Agroforestry recently completed a DVD integrating the four previously produced videos on the agroforestry practices of alley cropping, windbreaks, riparian forest buffers and silvopasture with the fifth practice, forest farming. The new section shows examples of successful forest farming practices, including shiitake mushroom production, pine straw, woodland wildflowers, medicinal plants, high value wood blanks and tips for marketing forest farming products. Each DVD includes all five agroforestry practices and can be purchased for $10. To order, print and mail the DVD order form.
  • Training Manual for Applied Agroforestry Practices - 2006 Edition This second edition of the Agroforestry Training Manual is designed for natural resources professionals and landowners and includes worksheets and exercises for use as an educational tool. The manual features descriptions of establishing and managing the five agroforestry practices, plus success stories of Midwestern landowners utilizing agroforestry on agricultural and forested lands. Additional sections include a Planning for Agroforestry workbook; wildlife habitat and agroforestry; marketing principles and economic considerations. Appendix sections include tree, shrub, grass and forage information for agroforestry plantings and timber sales suggestions.
