Agroforestry systems increase resilience
Agroforestry systems are strips of woodland, in arable land or grassland, laid out to match the working widths of agricultural machinery. They also include orchards. They can provide a variety of benefits for agriculture: They reduce erosion and drought and thus create resilience to extreme weather events, which are becoming increasingly frequent due to climate change. They provide protection and shade for poultry and grazing animals. They provide a refuge for beneficial insects, wild animals, insects and wild plants. In agroforestry systems, we are researching the crop development, soil biological parameters, root growth, carbon dynamics and the effects on biodiversity and nature conservation.
The Department of Organic Farming and Crop Production and other employees are members of the DeFAF trade association.
