Laying the groundwork for widespread agroforestry in the Midwest
Savanna Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a focus on promoting agroforestry in the Midwest US. Their slogan "Laying the groundwork for widespread agroforestry in the Midwest" encapsulates their mission to develop perennial food and fodder crops within multifunctional polyculture systems. Established in 2013, the institute collaborates with farmers and scientists, working within an ecological framework inspired by the savanna biome.
Their most recent milestone was a significant $12.70M grant investment received on 14 June 2023, with support from the Matthew Zell Family Foundation and the Grantham Foundation. This backing underscores growing recognition of the importance of agroforestry and sustainable agriculture in addressing environmental and food supply challenges in the region.
Savanna Institute's work not only holds promise for advancing sustainable agricultural practices in the Midwest but also presents an attractive investment opportunity for those seeking to support innovative solutions at the intersection of agriculture and ecology.
