Naar een stimulerende omgeving voor agroforestry in Vlaanderen: Roadmap 2.0

To create a stimulating environment for agroforestry in Flanders, the Consortium Agroforestry Flanders published a roadmap with priority actions by 2035. This included input from the master classes, excursions, workshops and analyses organised or conducted by the Consortium in recent years.

There is work to be done on five ‘paths’ according to the roadmap: in research and development, education, policy, economy and social environment. Concrete bottlenecks cited include access to land, fair prices, remuneration of ecosystem services but also lack of experimentation space by pioneering farmers and the need for independent advice and guidance. But there are also many opportunities. For each of these five paths, the Consortium Agroforestry Flanders puts forward a vision of the future.
