Great day yesterday making videos on farms with agroforestry in West Cork. Farmer narratives sharing their story from their childhood all the way to producing food from their agroforestry providing multi-ecosystem services. Join us to hear more at our conference on Nov 16th/17th.

@Ben_Raskin Nice work to all involved!

@inverted_soil @Timothaki I assure you in our neck of the woods and pastures P isn't a problem.

Nice to see Brett Cheznoy’s silvopastoral practice highlighted in the Guardian.

@inverted_soil @Timothaki No need for fertilizer particularly if you're growing timber as Brett is demonstrating with Juglans nigra and nurse tree Robinia pseudocacia that he sells for pole wood.

@Timothaki Thanks for the support from one Vermonter choking on smoke. 🙌

@Timothaki Looks like Vermont

@pete_ar_fryn @Thornsilver82 I'd you think the US is the only country animal raising livestock in CAFOs you need to do better research.

Add trees and you’ve got yourself a great agrosilvopasture system. #moretreesonfarms #agroforestry

When you alternate between growing and grazing, the results are "like magic." https://t.co/4643Goriqg #soilhealth

Orchard grazing can offer financial and environmental benefits. Some lowland sheep breeds (e.g. Shropshire) can successfully graze on orchards which have been pruned to a height of 1-2 m without noticeable losses in apple yields.

@chook411 @boucherhayes @RTECountryWide Definitely know that Ireland is not the UK ❤️🌳

The barriers to the board adoption of agroforestry both here in the US and the Uk are almost identical and not insurmountable. I repeat the barriers are not insurmountable. #moretreesonfarms

@boucherhayes @RTECountryWide Great to hear this hit the airwaves. There are almost too many wins to count and yet there is so much reluctance. If you want to dig deeper into the reluctance issue/barriers to adoption, talk to Meghan Giroux of @FarmInterlace who did her MSc on that topic.

@chook411 @boucherhayes @RTECountryWide I would love nothing g more than to talk about the barriers to the broad adoption of agroforestry. The issues in the U and UK are almost identical. 🌳

@blewinbell @Riverford @CoteheleNT 🙌🌳

@blewinbell @Riverford @SoilAssociation @Ben_Raskin @WestcountryRT @OGAgrowers @LandworkersUK Do you have a catchment area big enough to meet the demands of your water budget? Knowing that information will be useful.

@JMBecologist Conservation and production can go hand in hand it’s called agroforestry. You’re lost in contemporary agriculture - there are plenty of ancient dispersed tree cropping pratices Europe. You don’t have to pin rewilding against agriculture. #agroforestry #getonboard

The shortage of foresters might just be the push I need to relocated back to Wales.

@Ben_Raskin @PaulBrannenNE @Fraser_Bain @hanslope @BainbridgeFarms @agricology @wakelyns @pworms @wigsandwords @oxfordfarming @FFC_Commission @Farm3Dwithtrees This is at INRA and as Ben suggested an evolving density moving back to stable wherein the trees are being high pruned for future felling.
