Agroforestry

Tree Planting on farm could play a vital role in helping the UK dairy industry become net zero emissions by 2040.

Agroforestry is not a new idea and has a long history within UK agriculture; orchards grazed by sheep, pigs foraging for beech mast and acorns, hedgerows used as wind breaks etc. and these continue to be used to this day. In this dairy insight we look at ways in which these ideas can be expanded and organised to meet new and current challenges.
