Agroforestry can benefit the environment & production, so why isn't it more widely adopted?🌳🚜 Knowledge is a major barrier to uptake! We worked with 75 UK stakeholders to identify barriers & co-design solutions doi.org/10.1002/pan3... Tnks @uktreescapes.bsky.social @peopleandnature.bsky.social

Cover crops are good for the soil!🌱🌾 Our UK trials found 53% increase in 🪱during cover cropping and 66% in the subsequent crop. And🕷️increased by 26%! Thanks Crop Production Magazine for sharing our SHOWCASE results www.cpm-magazine.co.uk/events/resea...

Excited to be presenting results from the SHOWCASE project and Agroforestry Group this month! Our farm trials across England have shown cover crops can increase earthworms by 65% in the following cash crops! AND agroforestry promotes worms too, especially in drought years 😎 Hope to see you there!🌾
