Marcie's dedication to preserving the ancient oak forest and silvopastoral agroforestry system, as well as accompanying the local communities in embracing the acorn practices, heritage of Kea, has been nothing short of astonishing. Author of "Eating Acorns" and several research papers on the subject, Marcie's life on the island of Kea is a far cry from her Silicon Valley roots and academic background at UC Berkeley. Her OAKMEAL Acorn Initiative, built on the silvopastoral agroforestry practices in Kea, is a comprehensive project dedicated to resource regeneration, food sovereignty, community building, and agroecology. The initiative holds annual acorn collecting, storing, and processing seminars in Greece and maintains an acorn shelling, leaching, and pressing facility. Marcie has been successful and innovative in establishing the collection of acorn caps for export and introducing acorn flour-based products to the local cuisine. These efforts have ignited hope and inspired a shift towards sustainable practices, enabling farm families to conserve the island's ancient oak forests and generate sustainable income.
- [Agroforestry stories - Jacopo Goracci](https://euraf.net/2024/12/03/agroforestry-stories-jacopo-goracci/) - acopo is one of those people who are hard to forget. His stories reveal truly rich experiences on the ground, but also a truly well-thought-out, unique vision of how all life on Earth could better coexist and thrive together. Agroforestry for him is more than just farming. It is rather grounded in respect for the land we are stewarding while receiving delicious food in return. It is about partnership and equitable exchange. Jacopo manages the Tenuta di Paganico, a 1500-hectare organic farm nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy. There, he harmonises livestock, forestry, and crop production, raising heritage breeds of cattle, pigs, horses, and chickens through organic methods. He embraces agroforestry practices like silvopastoralism and rotational grazing. Discover the world of agroforestry through the eyes of Jacopo. This blog explores his journey of integrating trees, livestock, and crops to create a sustainable and biodiverse haven. Join us as we delve into the challenges and triumphs of his unique approach.

Based in central Poland, Łukasz has transformed a barren piece of land into a thriving agroforestry haven he calls "Dolina Mgieł" (Valley of Mists). Inspired by an article about a small agroforestry farm in his early childhood, Łukasz's journey into regenerative agriculture began over a decade ago. Through his dedication to permaculture design, he has successfully implemented silvopasture agroforestry practices on his farm. Łukasz shares insights from his 11-year experience, discussing the challenges he's overcome and the remarkable benefits he's witnessed. Discover how agroforestry has transformed his land and contributed to a more sustainable and resilient agricultural system.
