We help policy-makers design more efficient #agroforestry support policies by: 🌳targeting areas with very low tree coverage 🥇focusing on AF systems showing the highest potential also considering farmers' acceptance ⚖️comparing AF-related policies of different EU countries
From @EULandownersOrg, @TackJurgen gave a physical demonstration of the complexity of numerous agriculture legislation during the current mandate. Let's hope the strategic dialogue is fruitful and it continues after the #EUElections. #ForumforAg

#DigitAF makes data useful, accessible, shared and reused and provides hands-on, user-friendly and open-source tools helping farmers deal with the complexity of #agroforestry systems. #ForumforAg #HorizonEU @HorizonEU #HorizonEurope
Nanna-Louise Linde @nannalinde further shares the need for policies that supports both the #GreenTransition and the #DigitalTransformation, and how @Microsoft is ready to do its part and train farmers on their digital tools. #ForumforAg

Today, we celebrate the #InternationalDayOfForests. Despite the threats facing our forests, there is still hope. Sustainable agricultural practices like #agroforestry are an effective solution to deforestation, contributing to climate change mitigation. #DigitAF #HorizonEurope

🌱 Thematic social networks offer new spaces to people interested in #agroecology to connect and share knowledge. 📲 One of them is @landfiles, where we established our "Agroforestry and mixed systems community". Great article @AGROMIXproject article! 👉🏼agromixproject.eu/newsroom/c…

📣 Great news for #nature today! The @Europarl_EN approved the #NatureRestorationLaw to restore at least 20% of the EU's land and sea areas by 2030 and all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050. europarl.europa.eu/news/en/p… #NatureRestoration

Based on the 2024 Climate Change Performance Index, much more effort is needed to meet #climate targets. By increasing the area of tree cover on farms, #agroforestry helps capture and reduce emissions while maintaining high levels of #foodproduction & preserving #biodiversity.

#Agroforestry increases farmland biodiversity: insects, birds, and other organisms can find a habitat among the variety of plant species and promote #SoilHealth by enhancing nutrient cycling, natural pest control, and crop pollination. digitaf.eu/soil/ #WorldSoilDay

Witnessed the power of agroforestry in action on a Swiss agricultural landscape! Inspired by the young agroforestry who strategically planted rows of apple trees on his crop field, boosting both biodiversity and farm productivity. @agroscope @FelixHerzog6 @DigitAFproject

Participating in @INRAE_Intl led project (@DigitAFproject) meeting in Zurich (@agroscope) aiming at introducing more trees on European agricultural landscapes. @ICRAF is sharing its rich experience on quantifying soil health and carbon benefits of agroforestry #digitaf
