Unlocking opportunities for farm businesses: Agroforestry

Unlocking opportunities for farm businesses – Agroforestry

From February to April, the Forestry Commission's South West Area Team are hosting a series of five webinars to highlight the specific opportunities that tree planting represents for farmers and landowners.

In this fifth and final webinar in our Unlocking opportunities for farm businesses series, join us for an engaging and practical discussion focused on agroforestry, the integration of trees into farming systems, and learn how to make the most of your land whilst also meeting agricultural, environmental, and sustainability goals.

Expect expert insights led by the two South West Agroforestry Officers who will provide explanations as to what agroforestry is and can look like on your farm, as well as the benefits it can provide, and case studies of successful agroforestry systems across the UK.

Topics include:

• Defining agroforestry

Our speakers are:
