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!

‘At the Wiesenhof, participants learn about the interrelationships of agricultural production with all their senses, experience practical work and get up close and personal with the farm animals.’
An agroforestry system consisting of many different woody plants that usefully complements the farm and contributes to climate protection.
Thanks to the financial support of the Daniel Schlegel Umweltstiftung in the amount of €20,000, 620 new trees, palms and vines were planted in 2023 and 1088 annual trees and shrubs were taken care of.
The Bioland-certified farm cultivates 30 hectares of arable land and grassland and keeps laying hens, goats, a few young cattle and bee colonies.
With the support of the Daniel Schlegel Umweltstiftung, around 500 additional trees could be planted in February 2023 to complement the existing system.
