Geographic Scope
The area of action of FARM LIFE is the Netherlands and Belgium.
Three demonstration farm sites are participating in the Dutch province of North Brabant. The three demonstration farm sites were selected as trendsetters in implementing agroforestry as a feasible and profitable business model. To build resilient business networks five replication farm sites are selected for boosting business synergies with the demonstration farmers.
Short Description
The European Union has clearly identified and set priorities for the rural development in its member states. Addressing the challenges of how to enhance the viability and competitiveness of agriculture while restoring, preserving and enhancing ecosystems requires an integrated approach that would allow an effective transition towards a climate adaptive agriculture in this time of climate change.
