Farm in the North of England? Interested in #Agroforestry? We have a great opportunity for you to develop an agroforestry design and get feedback, ideas and lessons learned from farmers, researchers and advisors at the #Agroforestryshow. www.organicresearchcentre.com/news-events/...

The big challenge with planting grants being turned on/off at the whim of Ministers, is that tree nurseries & planting contractors can’t confidently invest in their businesses. Nurseries have to plan 4-5 yrs ahead. If trees aren’t planted they can’t easily be held over to the next year.

We are looking forward to #Groundswell25 2-3 July. Come and join us in the #agroforestry tent! @thesoilassociation.bsky.social @benraskin.bsky.social www.organicresearchcentre.com/news-events/...
