SA government and private companies should consider agroforestry, not only as a climate mitigation strategy, which I admit it is, but also as a better livestock production, soil protection, water retention and rural employment creation strategy. In the accompanying article the USDA and Nature Conservancy are showing leadership in the funding and implementation of agroforestry in the US.
2024 sees NINE regen ag practicing, soil health focused farms across SIX different farming operation streams (dairy, beef, mixed, grain, bison, sheep) in Manitoba taking part in our 2nd annual MFGA bird survey to benchmark/get a handle on how birds - including and especially species at risk- are responding to soil health boosting habitats and intact habitats such as grasslands and wetlands. Early results have been extremely positive, following up an absolutely impressive first year of our survey. Bravo to our MFGA network farmers stepping up here to showcase their great work on their farms and connecting that work to bird populations and abundance.

In particular, the most important attributes to […]

Thurs Nov 21 2024 at 09:45 AM at Telfit Farm
Learn about the amazing advantages of integrating trees into livestock farming practices. Discover how trees can:
Improve animal health, reduce lamb mortality rates, reduce Vet & Med costs (eg Tannins provide natural anthelmintics)
Increase livestock growth rates and milk production.
Provide high quality fodder (20% + CP), rich in minerals (In particular Selenium and Cobalt) and secondary compounds (eg Salacylic acid)
Enhance soil health and grass growth.
Increase biodiversity.
Mitigate climate change, increasing resilience to wet and dry weather.
Qualify for SFI and other payments.
Provide alternate income streams.
Protect and cool water courses
Sequester Carbon.
And more .........
We will be joined by Agroforestry expert Jon Haines from the Soil Association,
Jon will conduct the morning workshop inside at Telfit sharing his knowledge on the subject.
Following a free lunch, Ian Bell (Northern Soil Regen) will present the new the Agroforestry scheme at Telfit.
Niki Child, Landscapes for Water Project Officer from The White Rose Forest (which has supported the project through Trees for Climate funding)will join us on the day and be available to answer any questions on funding eligibility if people are interested, process, design in terms of managing constraints and maximising opportunities, species selection etc.
This is an opportunity open to all, from those all ready engaged and in particular farmers new to these ideas. Its a chance to network with like-minded individuals and experts in the field. Come ready to learn, ask questions, and be inspired to implement agroforestry on your own farm!
