More than a thousand people backed a “win win” future of farming with trees for climate and farm resilience at a ground-breaking event held in September 2023 to boost uptake of agroforestry in the UK.

​

Held amid unseasonably high temperatures, the UK’s first ever Agroforestry Show saw “the beginning of change” with consensus across around 1200 delegates that trees are key to ensuring food production while tackling climate change and biodiversity loss.

​

The show saw farmers, foresters, researchers, environmentalists, and policy makers sharing insights and advice on how to help farm businesses benefit from trees.

​

Eastbrook Farm in Wiltshire hosted two days of workshops and talks covering how agroforestry can help both arable and pastoral farms to protect livestock, crops, soils, rivers, biodiversity, and climate.
