Planting fodder hedges for drought resilience

Fodder hedges provide supplementary forage for ruminants during summer droughts caused by climate change. These woody plants, including trees and shrubs, offer high-nutrient feed and shade, improving animal welfare. Best practices for planting, maintenance, and use are outlined by Johanna Schoop of AGRIDEA, Switzerland. The approach supports climate-resilient organic and sustainable farming, with resources available via the Organic Climate Network and Organic Farm Knowledge platform.
