Five million funding for climate-resilient agriculture

Towards climate-resilient agriculture: ‘agroforst-innovate!’ will soon establish a centre that brings together research, agricultural practice and societal stakeholders, and drives forward the implementation of new approaches to sustainable land use. The Applied Landscape Ecology and Ecological Planning Research Group is expanding its expertise in ecology, landscape research and sustainable land use through its research focus on agroforestry, and is supporting the development and scientific evaluation of a new landscape laboratory in Steinfurt. Partners include the Westphalia-Lippe Agricultural Association, the German Professional Association for Agroforestry and the “Joachim Herz Foundation”, which is funding the project with five million euros.
