We help policy-makers design more efficient #agroforestry support policies by: 🌳targeting areas with very low tree coverage 🥇focusing on AF systems showing the highest potential also considering farmers' acceptance ⚖️comparing AF-related policies of different EU countries

From @EULandownersOrg, @TackJurgen gave a physical demonstration of the complexity of numerous agriculture legislation during the current mandate. Let's hope the strategic dialogue is fruitful and it continues after the #EUElections. #ForumforAg

Today, we celebrate the #InternationalDayOfForests. Despite the threats facing our forests, there is still hope. Sustainable agricultural practices like #agroforestry are an effective solution to deforestation, contributing to climate change mitigation. #DigitAF #HorizonEurope

📣 Great news for #nature today! The @Europarl_EN approved the #NatureRestorationLaw to restore at least 20% of the EU's land and sea areas by 2030 and all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050. https://t.co/DQhPvqmH4v #NatureRestoration

Based on the 2024 Climate Change Performance Index, much more effort is needed to meet #climate targets. By increasing the area of tree cover on farms, #agroforestry helps capture and reduce emissions while maintaining high levels of #foodproduction & preserving #biodiversity.

Witnessed the power of agroforestry in action on a Swiss agricultural landscape! Inspired by the young agroforestry who strategically planted rows of apple trees on his crop field, boosting both biodiversity and farm productivity. @agroscope @FelixHerzog6 @DigitAFproject
