This factsheet is intended for agroforestry researchers and advisers. Agroforestry is an agricultural system that has hardly been studied in the Netherlands to date. Because it is expected that agroforestry can make a valuable contribution to future-proof agriculture and solving social challenges, an agroforestry research facility was created in 2021 that enables silvoarable agroforestry research. The facility is aimed at testing the hypothesis that agroforestry can be an economically attractive cropping system for arable farmers in wind-sensitive and open landscapes in the Netherlands, while simultaneously serving other social goals. Because the considerations and choices made in the design of the agroforestry trial fields may also be of interest to other stakeholders, this factsheet explains the background and design of the research facility. With this factsheet we hope to increase insight and interest in the trial fields and also to contribute to well thought-out designs of agroforestry systems elsewhere.
