This document provides an overview of Rowan Reid's work as an agroforestry expert in Australia. It discusses how extensive clearing of trees for agriculture had negative environmental impacts but that farmers are now more open to planting trees. It describes Reid's own agroforestry farm and the research conducted there over 25 years on different tree species and silvopastoral systems. Reid has trained over 2000 people in agroforestry through his Master TreeGrower courses and works to facilitate farmer-to-farmer knowledge sharing through a peer mentor program. The overall goal is to help farmers adopt agroforestry practices that provide environmental, economic and social benefits.
