Adding trees to farms stores carbon, can boost productivity, diversifies outputs, and provides a host of other benefits. But how do we overcome the financial, skills, supply chain and market barriers to make trees a successful business?
This session will showcase a range of options and exciting new approaches: identifying financial opportunities offered by trees; how can farmers become foresters?; innovative tenancies and collaborations between landowners, farmers, and tree growers; the key role of land agents for flexible tenancies; cooperative working to take advantage of scale; accessing markets and creating new markets; developing supply chains; and opportunities from new funding streams.
