AFBI provides support on agroforestry, tree production systems and the sustainability of trees in woodland and farm ecosystems. Additionally, biodiversity and landscape assessments are of particular interest.
Facilities
AFBI has 14 hectares of high quality agricultural land suitable for field experimentation, which includes a highly specialised stock management expertise as well as handling and housing facilities. To demonstrate silvopastoral systems AFBI has trees and livestock (sheep and cattle) at varying combinations of spacing, species and ages.
Collaboration
AFBI also has technical and scientific experience with farm woodland systems assessments in the rest of the UK, Ireland, the Falkland Islands and Patagonia.
