LIFE AgroForAdapt Technical Manuals

Agroforestry prioritisation and design tools

·SilPas: this tool identifies forest areas where conversion to silvopastorism is technically most viable for different types of livestock, and where it would most significantly help to reduce vulnerability to wildfires.

· PrioSilvAra: this tool identifies agricultural areas where conversion to silvoarable systems is technically viable and would allow for the maximisation of multiple ecosystem services related to soil protection and biodiversity.

· EcoAF: this tool facilitates the design of agroforestry systems and has been updated and improved as part of the AgroForAdapt project.

Tools: integrated agro-silvo-pastoral Planning

The following are three pilot tools for the comprehensive planning of agricultural, livestock and forestry uses, developed at three different scales:

· Small-medium estate (indicatively: 5 - 50 ha): pilot application in Terres de Roumassouze (Agroof).

· Medium-large estate (orientatively: 25 - 500 ha): pilot application in Camps i Armet (Diputació de Girona)

· Municipal or supramunicipal (indicatively: 1,000 - 50,000 ha): pilot application in Muntanyes del Baix Llobregat (AMB).
