Created in 2009 by French agroforestry consultancy Agroof. Becomes more topical by the day. Wervel translated this 65-minute documentary into Dutch.
Agroforestry is an umbrella term for agricultural systems that consciously reintegrate the tree into the farm in combination with crops and/or livestock because of the ecological and economic interactions between the various components in the agro-ecosystem. It requires good design that maximizes positive interactions and minimizes negative ones. The goal is multifunctional agriculture, ecological intensification, more efficient use of sunlight, soil and water, and increased resilience.
Agroforestry is part of an agroecological strategy.
