Fertile Soils, No Pesticides, and Healthy Food - How Wonderful

This is how we want our agriculture to be. Thank you, agroforestry! By combining trees and shrubs with agricultural crops on farmland, we create habitats and achieve incredible benefits for both humans and nature – join us!

 

Agroforestry: More Than Just Trees on Fields

It may sound simple—planting trees and shrubs on farmland—but it’s a true revolution! In agroforestry, fruit and timber trees, shrubs, vegetables, and grains grow side by side, from walnut and almond to apple, pear, and blueberry. Careful planning is key, but the effort pays off.
The diverse structures of tree strips integrate agriculture with environmental and climate protection. The richness of agroforestry makes it resilient, efficient, and in harmony with nature.

All of this is essential for the agriculture of the future!
