The Trees-in-fields Network

The Trees-in-fields Network is recruiting farmers! 🧑‍🌾🚜🪱🌳

We have two aims:

1. Co-design long-term silvoarable experiments looking at the environmental, production, management, and financial impacts of different planting strategies (e.g. tree species, planting arrangements). The research questions will be co-designed with a group of farmers and tested across multiple farms.

2. Create a network of silvoarable farmers to share practical knowledge and tips (e.g. funding, nurseries, mulch). Run on-farm events and facilitate group inititiates, such as co-ops, markets, or training.

This research is funded by an Agri-food Rising Star Fellowship at the University of Reading. The University of Reading is a hub of agroforestry research nationally, and by joining this project participants will have access to the latest research.
