Climate protection thanks to agroforestry

Producing food and feed while protecting the climate - is that possible? Yes, and agroforestry is one option, combining agriculture and wood production on the same land. Establishing agroforestry on around 9% of Europe's agricultural land could mitigate up to 43% of European agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. This conclusion was reached by Agroscope experts working with international partners.
