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
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.

🌱 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!

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.

🌳 Discover the potential of #AgroForestry!
Integrating trees on farms can enhance:
🟢 climate resilience & food production
🟢 soil health
🟢 carbon storage
🟢 business models for farmers

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.

From 6 to 8 June, DigitAF project partners gathered in Zurich for the 2023 Consortium Meeting hosted by @agroscope.
An intense, engaging and inspiring meeting where consortium members discussed project progress and next steps.
