Agroforestry works, but it is not being taken up apace. In the face of climate change and biodiversity collapse, agroforestry is an essential tool to assist in adapting to the agriculture of the future. So what is the potential for adopting it more widely across our wet temperate and upland landscapes and what can we do to increase uptake?
