Agroforestry: Renewing the Countryside

With our sponsors, HeathPartners and the Savanna Institute, this year's exhibit theme is Agroforestry. As climate change continues to pose a threat to our food systems, sustainable agricultural practices have the power to mitigate and even reverse those threats. Agroforestry is a particularly effective practice as it integrates trees, perennials, pasture and even native species into more traditional farming practices. This exhibit will show how these systems create a resilient food shed and will explore ways we can all contribute to these sustainable systems. Minnesota farmers and food-makers will be sampling their products. Kids will learn more about Minnesota-grown produce with hands-on activities. Minnesota chefs will teach us their favorite recipes using locally grown ingredients. Visit the website for a schedule of chefs.
