Agroforestry is a system of land management that involves the simultaneous cultivation of farm crops and trees. This video is one of a set of six, which focuses on a farm in Viola Wisconsin. The videos demonstrate practices and innovative techniques to help you understand how to incorporate agroforestry on your land. On-site interviews are combined with instructional video and narrated slides. Content specialists include scientists and outreach professionals.

In the third video, "Alley Cropping", we discover what alley cropping is and how it can help maximize your agroforestry profit while you wait for your trees to grow.

Agroforestry presents lots of opportunities for the organic grower: to grow new fruit and nut crops to sell; to produce wood and wood chip to use; to provide shelter and reduce flooding; and to provide habitat for other creatures.

In this webinar, we hear from experienced growers about the practical considerations, opportunities and pitfalls of agroforestry in organic horticulture.

Ben Raskin is head of horticulture and agroforestry at the Soil Association, a director of the Organic Growers Alliance, and an experienced grower who is currently establishing an agroforestry system at Eastbrook farm in Wiltshire.

John talks us through how to get started in agroforestry and what you should consider when deciding how to incorporate trees, from analysing your site and exploring your objectives, through to choosing species and getting trees in the ground.
