Woodland and trees in the farmed landscape: Towards a diverse, resilient, and vibrant agroforestry and farm woodland economy for the UK

The aim of this project was to review the economic impact of a sustainable agroforestry and farm woodland economy in the UK. We defined the current types, composition, and scale of agroforestry and farm woodland in the UK and the wider supply chains, enterprises, markets, and market trends that intersect with and support these land uses. To explore the support provided to these land use options, Cumulus reviewed the policies, subsidies and payment schemes relating to agroforestry and farm woodland across the UK nations. These definitions and sectoral research supported our modelling of the economic impacts of an increase in sustainable agroforestry and farm woodland across the UK. This enabled identification of the major opportunities, barriers and key recommendation for increased UK agroforestry and farm woodland.
