Farming for the future: how agroforestry can deliver for nature and climate.

Year

Abstract
Bringing more trees into farmed landscapes will make them more resilient economically and environmentally. Trees on farms combine productivity with support for biodiversity, increasing the carbon stored in the land and helping us meet our commitments on climate and nature. Agroforestry (significantly increasing the number of trees we incorporate into farming systems) can help deliver nature and climate goals while continuing to support agricultural production and other services that we need from the land. Research presented in this report makes clear that widespread adoption of agroforestry can enhance and connect habitats and help store more carbon in our landscapes, while maintaining food production and in some cases improving farm productivity in both arable and pastoral farming systems
