Another fascinating interview with a leader and pioneer in the field. Stephen Briggs, managing Whitehall Farm in the UK, delves into the details of his apple intercropping system, and shows us how his farm operation has benefited from the positive interactions of his trees and his arable crops. He is convinced of the strategic benefits agroforestry provides, both for his business and agro-ecosystem. Needless to say, he also has made many mistakes, and shares with us what he would do differently. He finished off discussing where he believes agroforestry is heading in the next 10 years. A must listen, enjoy! • TABLE OF CONTENTS 00:01:25 Introduction  00:11:50 Agroforestry system description 00:18:56 Tree line grass management 00:23:10 Interaction between trees and crops 00:30:10 Pest pressure and soil biology 00:36:15 3D farming and agroforestry productivity 00:38:21 Lessons learnt and practical tips 00:43:50 Tree mulch to manage weed pressure 00:45:03 Controlled traffic farming system 00:46:50 Integrating tree and arable work flows 00:50:25 Integrating apple sales into the business 00:55:14 Acquiring new knowledge and time management 00:59:14 Managed complexity 01:01:25 Next steps for Whitehall Farm 01:04:50 The future of agroforestry 01:10:15 Planting trees on rented land    • RESOURCES https://abacusagri.com/ https://www.agricology.co.uk/field/farmer-profiles/stephen-briggs • GET IN TOUCH www.regenerativeagroforestry.org • SUPPORT US www.gumroad.com/regenagroforestry • FOLLOW US on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
