- Results from the LIFE AgroForAdapt agroforestry systems
Over the five years of the AgroForAdapt project, we have monitored 75 demonstration agroforestry systems, collecting data on a range of socio-economic, productive, physiological, microclimatic and soil variables. We have summarised the main findings in two brief documents: Main results of the silvoarable demonstration systems. Main results of the silvopastoral demonstration systems. - AgroForAdapt demonstration silvoarable systems: summary of results
In AgroForAdapt project we carried out the monitoring of 38 demonstration silvoarable agroforestry systems located in Catalonia, Castile and León (Spain), Occitanie and PACA (France). This network encompasses a wide diversity of crops (cereals, aromatic plants, forage crops, grapevines, vegetables, etc.), tree species (fruit, timber, fodder and mycorrhized trees, and trees providing support functions for… Read more: AgroForAdapt demonstration silvoarable systems: summary of results - This September, LIFE AgroForAdapt participates in the organisation of two interesting, free knowledge-sharing events
