The 1st National Agroforestry Forum will be held in Rome on 6 -7 December 2023, at the Rome headquarters of the CNR, P.le Aldo Moro n.8.
Agroforestry is the deliberate association of agricultural crops and perennial tree or shrub species, with the possible presence of the animal component, in the same surface unit.

In the six round tables that take place during the Forum, agroforestry in Italy is discussed with respect to the following themes:
