AGROMIX | Agroforestry in Switzerland

The AGROMIX project aims to deliver participatory research to drive the transition to a resilient and efficient land use in Europe. It focuses on practical agroecological solutions for farm and land management and related value chains. AGROMIX Work-Package 2 on Systems design and synergies is at the heart of project. Within this WP the participative design approach is developed to design tailor-made systems for specific contexts in Europe. The methodology is developed jointly with 6 Pilot Projects located in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany and Switzerland. This video presents the agroforestry situation in Switzerland and the insights from Simon Küng, a farmer in the canton of Luzern that adopted agroforestry practices by combining livestock grazing with apple orchards and walnut plantations on his 32 hectare farm.
