Content description:
Three agroforestry systems were planted between 2020 and 2022 at the Gladbacherhof educational and experimental farm for organic farming. In this video, Eva-Maria Minarsch from the Justus Liebig University in Giessen reports on the motivation and goals behind the project and its early successes.
Zeno Piatti-Fünfkirchen from the Stutenhof estate in Lower Austria also established modern agroforestry systems in 2023 and 2024 with the aim of adaptation to climate change in this dry region. He also reports on the world's first agroforestry certificate, PAN, developed by ARGE Agroforst in Austria.
