The Climate Conversation Podcast: Agroforestry and the Farm Bill

Our most recent podcast episode is produced in collaboration with another great podcast, The Climate Conversation, which is produced by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI). A few weeks ago, hosts Dan Bresette and Emma Johnson interviewed Keefe Keeley, our Executive Director, and Tucker Gretebeck, an organic dairy farmer who is working with our agroforestry adoption team. They kindly agreed to share the recording with us, which you can now hear on the Perennial AF podcast.
