Empowering Mountain Food Systems commissioned Carbon Harvest to work with Temperance Farm as a pilot farm in their groundbreaking carbon sequestration project. Now, join Mari Stuart, Meredith Leigh, and Tom Krome on February 13 at 6:30 pm for a webinar class on agroforestry for carbon sequestration!

Intentional incorporation of trees and woody shrubs into agricultural systems can sequester carbon and produce carbon offsets. The integration of trees and grazing livestock is especially promising in creating resilient farming systems while sequestering CO2. Carbon Harvest, a local company that is developing a regional offset platform focused on agroforestry, has been conducting a pilot phase with four WNC farmers to design and implement agroforestry systems.

Join this webinar to hear more about the process of carbon farm planning, with a focus on one of the farms in the pilot program: Temperance Farm. Farmer Tom Krome will join the speakers from Carbon Harvest to discuss his recently completed carbon farm plan that includes the installation of riparian plantings, a multi-story agroforestry system, restoration of an old orchard, and sheep silvopasture.
