Agroforestry in Flanders
What is agroforestry? Agroforestry is an integrated land use management where trees or shrubs are combined with an agricultural crop or livestock on the same land. In a well-functioning agroforestry system, both components have a neutral or positive influence on each other, and negative interactions are avoided as much as possible through careful design. Agroforestry can also provide ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, shade for livestock or air purification. What we offer This website contains useful information about agroforestry in Flanders. For instance, knowledge is bundled in the Knowledge hub and decision-support tools are made available in the Agroforestry Planner. For agroforestry-related questions, you can reach the members of the Consortium via mail and telephone. Finally, the Consortium also offers farm guidance if you wish to proceed with personal advice (including plan elaboration and design advice for a standard fee).
