[QUOTE="IFarmers, post: 7260625, member: 153836"] Been meaning to join for ages and finally got round to it yesterday! Really impressed by the up front and lively atmosphere so hoping to post more. Innovative Farmers often get results from various agroecological practices being researched by farmers in field labs that it would be worth putting here for discussion. As we're a network and Im on the comms staff (Dan Iles) - I'm not sure my opinion on agroforestry is relevant. But I have forwarded to colleagues - Ben Raskin and Jerry Alford (and others) who have technical experience and might have replies to some of the above. However - we're always interested in the practical reality of ideas like agroforestry. So hearing farmer experience is key. Farmers taking on ideas that might look good on paper and transposing them to practical, realistic, farm-fit techniques is what we're about. We're hoping to have a field lab on silvoarable starting soon actually with 8 farmers in Devon. But details still being worked out. So will be able to relay evidence on this as it comes. [/QUOTE]
