Voederhagen in praktijkonderzoek: Ontwerp, overwegingen en resultaten op Dairy Campus en bij boer Jan Blom

Forage hedge implementation for climate-positive dairy farming with field trials at Dairy Campus and Jan Blom’s farm

or

Detail description

Agroforestry systems integrating trees and forage plants on dairy farms enhance biodiversity and climate resilience. This factsheet details field trials at Dairy Campus and farmer Jan Blom’s farm in Bedum, focusing on low-growing, climate-adapted species like field hawthorn, black alder, and black currant. Research from Wageningen University & Research evaluates feed quality, tree-grass-livestock interactions, and environmental benefits. The project supports climate-positive dairy farming and provides design guidance for practical implementation.
