Forage potential of five tree species in fodder hedgerows

Fodder hedgerows: species selection, planting techniques, and maintenance for sustainable livestock feeding

or

Detail description

Fodder trees enhance sustainable livestock feeding when planted as hedgerows, providing high-quality forage. Key mortality drivers include pests and water scarcity. Effective planting and maintenance, including monitoring for pests and ensuring water supply, are critical. Recommended practices support long-term fodder availability in agroecological systems. Tools from Organic Farm Knowledge (54803, 54462, 44977) and the Organic Climate Network support implementation.
