Tim Krenak: Innovator in Agroforestry and Dairy Farming

Tim Krenak is a forward-thinking dairy farmer who manages an operation consisting of 30 lactating cows. He has successfully integrated an agroforestry model into his farming practices within the Krenak Indigenous Territory. This innovative approach combines forest restoration with milk production.

By adopting agroforestry, Tim has introduced elements such as trees, fruit, flowers, and honey into his farm. This integration has not only contributed to forest restoration but has also provided significant benefits to his dairy operations. The environmental diversity and shade provided by the trees have led to reduced stress levels in the animals, subsequently decreasing the need for medicines.
