Agroforestry systems, sustainable livestock production

Not AvailableThe AGFORWARD research project (January 2014 - December 2017), funded by the European Commission, is promoting agroforestry practices in Europe that will advance sustainable rural development. The project has four objectives: 1. to understand the context and extent of agroforestry in Europe, 2. to identify, develop and field-test innovations (through participatory research) to improve the benefits and viability of agroforestry systems in Europe, 3. to evaluate innovative agroforestry designs and practices at a field-, farm- and landscape scale, and 4. to promote the wider adoption of appropriate agroforestry systems in Europe through policy development and dissemination. This Deliverable 5.15 (5.3) contributes to the second and fourth objectives. It contains a summary and copies of the guidelines (to industry) for improved agroforestry systems and practices for livestock production. The guidelines are in the form of eight agroforestry innovation leaflets, which were produced within a set of 46 leaflets which also covered agroforestry of high nature and cultural value, agroforestry with high value trees, and agroforestry for arable systems. The leaflets also support the dissemination activities covered by Objective 4.Not Availabl
