Farmer perception of benefits, constraints and opportunities for silvoarable systems [PDF]
Outlook on Agriculture, 2017 Silvoarable agroforestry integrates the use of trees and arable crops on the same area of land, and such systems can be supported by national governments under the European Union’s (EU) Rural Development Regulations (2014–2020). In order to improve the understanding of farmers’ perceptions of such systems, detailed face-to-face interviews were ...

Integrating environmental and economic performance to assess modern silvoarable agroforestry in Europe [PDF]
Ecological Economics, 2007 Abstract The environmental and economic performance of silvoarable agroforestry in Europe is highly variable. Multi-criteria analysis, using the PROMETHEE outranking approach, was used to evaluate the integrated performance of silvoarable agroforestry on hypothetical farms in nineteen landscape test sites in Spain, France, and The Netherlands.

Biotic stress and yield stability in English organic silvoarable agroforestry
Agronomy for Sustainable DevelopmentAbstractIn-field trees are thought to buffer arable crops from climate extremes through the creation of microclimates that may reduce the impacts of heat, wind, and cold. Much less is known about how trees and their biotic interactions (e.g. with natural enemies of pests and wild understory plants) impact crop yield stability to biotic stresses such as

Agroforestry in the Czech Republic: What Hampers the Comeback of a Once Traditional Land Use System?
Agronomy, 2021 The interest in re-implementing agroforestry (AF) in European agriculture due to its environmental benefits has been growing exponentially. We reviewed the historical background and the current state (extent, farmers’ perception, legislative support, and

Modelling environmental benefits of silvoarable agroforestry in Europe [PDF]
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2006 Increased adoption of silvoarable agroforestry (SAF) systems in Europe, by integratingtrees and arable crops on the same land, could offer a range of environmental benefits compared with conventional agricultural systems. Soil erosion, nitrogen leaching, carbon sequestration and landscape biodiversity were chosen as indicators to assess a stratified ...
