Pollinator: Seeing the Wood for the Trees – Innovation for Agroforestry and Soil Carbon Capture
Thursday 8th October 2020 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am
Pollinator: Seeing the Wood for the Trees – Innovation for Agroforestry and Soil Carbon Capture
Silvo-arable and silvo-pasture systems, as well as farming forests could help UK agriculture reach net zero carbon emissions by 2040. But tree planting requires long-term planning and a clear understanding of the natural capital potential as well as anticipated economic benefits, as well as tech for tree management, including mapping and visualisation above and below ground, carbon capture and incentives.
