7th European Agroforestry Conference 2024: Agroforestry – regenerating landscapes and diversifying production in Europe.

Original language description

European agriculture needs to evolve in the face of climate change, a reduction in the abundance of insects and farmland birds, pollution, and the need to improve human health. Greater and more effective use of agroforestry, the integration of woody perennials with livestock and/or crop production, is a proven means to maintain food production whilst addressing these issues. Agroforestry is an important regenerative agriculture practice which can achieve a greater diversity or quantity of outputs with fewer non-farm inputs, whilst improving a farm’s resilience to climate change. Well-designed agroforestry systems, adapted to local conditions, can also enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services at the landscape level. Nevertheless, the re-adoption of agroforestry in Europe is currently challenging, despite the interest of both farmers and policy makers. Czechia, at the heart of Europe, is an ideal place for us to come together to address these challenges. Here, we feel that agroforestry is gaining momentum now. It is the home of many intensive farms, where agroforestry can provide a cornerstone for progressive agricultural development and the creation and con- servation of economic and environmentally beneficial landscapes. Hence, we are happy that you join us in the vibrant city of Brno. This timely conference will cover research and practical sessions that address the opportunities and challenges in promoting the integration of trees with farming. Discussions in plenary, thematic oral and poster sessions, and workshops will provide participants with new ideas to enhance the role that agroforestry can play in diversifying production, enhancing soil health and biodiversity, addressing climate change, creating profitable businesses, and regenerating landscapes in Europe. EURAF 2024 conference will review recent research and practical results that address those challenges from various points of view, with all sorts of methodological approaches. Discussions in seven plenary key-note speeches and three panel discussion, 20 specific thematic oral presentation sessions (with more than 130 contributions), poster session (more than 100 posters), and several workshops will provide participants with new ideas to enhance our understanding of the potential capacity of the agroforestry approaches to face future crises, together with meeting the challenge of maintaining productivity of European agriculture.
