By Gordon Davidson Soil Association Scotland has received funding for a new programme to highlight the benefits of agroforestry in Scotland. 'Agroforestry in Action' has received £30,000 from the Scottish Government’s Knowledge Transfer and Innovation fund to run a series of webinars and develop an online agroforestry hub of ‘how to’ resources. Scottish Forestry and the Woodland Trust are also contributing to the programme. Programme lead Bruce Pearce said: "Agroforestry – by which we mean integrating trees into farming, according to the principle of the right tree in the right place – is a vital, viable way farmers can help us restore climate and nature, from the ground up. Trees can store carbon, improve soil health and biology, provide shelter and forage for livestock and wildlife, and give farmers additional income. Through our Agroforestry in Action programme, we will share Scotland-specific best practice and resources and work with Woodland Trust Scotland and Scottish Forestry to enable more tree planting on farms."
