Green Institute Greece and the European Network of Political Foundations will present, for the first time for the wider audience, their new book entitled: “Reviving Agroforestry landscapes in the era of climate change: for people, nature and local economy”. Join us on Thursday 8 June at 17:00 CEST (18:00 EEST) on Zoom for the book presentation and discussion.

Agroforestry landscapes, defined as the deliberate combination of trees and crops and/or pasture on the same piece of land and at the same time,are recognized as among the most resilient multifunctional landscapes throughout the world, with the potential to successfully mitigate the problems posed by climate change on rural communities.
