Wakelyns Agroforestry open day – 2013

The 2013 open day at Wakelyns Agroforestry had the theme Agroecology: Science & Practice for Sustainable Farming. The sun shone (mostly) and the event drew farmers and others from far afield. In the morning experts presented challenging views on the use of energy in society and agriculture, showing how the application of agroecology to crop production can improve energy balances while maintaining biodiversity in agricultural systems. The farm tour highlighted a brand new EU project in agroforestry and showcased the range of cropping ideas in progress.
