A practical guide to rebooting the planet through tropical agriculture and putting farmers first

In this month’s EarthTeam Townhall virtual gathering, our spotlight speaker Roger Leakey will talk about the new addition of his book “Living with the Trees of Life”, in which he demonstrates, with real-life examples from his work in the tropics, how natural farming systems can offer hope for rural communities.

Roger Leakey was Professor of Agroecology and Sustainable Development of James Cook University, in Cairns, Australia (2001-2006); Head of Tropical Ecology at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Edinburgh, UK (1997-2001) and Director of Research at the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (now the World Agroforestry Centre 1993-1997).  Currently he is Vice President of the International Tree Foundation, a UK registered charity and Vice President of the International Society of Tropical Foresters.

He has written over 400 publications including several books including “Living with the Trees of Life” (2012) and “Multifunctional Agriculture – Achieving Sustainable Agriculture in Africa” (2017).

Come, join and be a part of this dynamic and inter-disciplinary alliance on June 5th at UTC 14:00 :)
