The Sustainability Perspectives Series presents “The Promimse of Silvopasture” with Steve Gabriel, farmer, author, and extension specialist for the Cornell Small Farms Program.
Humans’ relationship to animals has a long and storied past, yet modern agriculture has sought to separate forest and field, animal and pasture. The agroforestry practice of silvopasture combines trees, animals and forages in a symbiotic and dynamic ecosystem. Steve will discuss the potential for this innovative farming practice that ranks among the best for addressing a changing climate.
This event will take place at 12:20 p.m. on Monday, April 22, 2019 in the de Witt Lecture Room (Zabriskie Hall 106) on the Wells College campus. Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend.
This talk is part of the Center for Sustainability and the Environment’s Sustainability Perspectives Series. Wells is committed to providing access to all events; anyone needing assistance should contact Marian Brown, director of the Center for Sustainability and the Environment, as soon as possible at mbrown@wells.edu or 315.364.3304.
