Discovering Profits in Unlikely Places:
Agroforestry Opportunities for Added Income

7. The Sustainable Agriculture Information Exchange

This publication is part of a series developed through the Sustainable Agriculture Information Exchange, a clearinghouse of sustainable agriculture information and materials in Minnesota. These informational materials are accessible to the public by phone (toll-free), fax, e-mail, or World Wide Web.

The Information Exchange works to bridge the gap between the need for timely, practical information about sustainable agriculture and existing resources and information; to identify gaps in research and education and direct funding and support to address them; and to promote education and discussion of issues relevant to the sustainability of agriculture. To ensure that all of the Information Exchange’s publications are applicable and user-friendly, they are developed by teams and reviewed by individuals who will use the material, including farmers, researchers, extension educators, and other agricultural community members. The publications are developed in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture-Energy and Sustainable Agriculture Program and the University of Minnesota Extension Service.

Other publications in this series, all of which are available through the University of Minnesota Extension Store, include:

• Collaborative Marketing: A Roadmap and Resource Guide for Farmers (BU-7539)
• Organic Certification of Crop Production in Minnesota (BU-7202)
• Minnesota Soil Management Series (PC-7398)
• Whole Farm Planning: Combining Family, Profit, and Environment (BU-6985)

New topics in the series are continually in development, including hog production systems, business planning, management of solid swine manure, and resources for beginning farmers.
