Comparative study of two organic farms in Alphen and Arnhem

development of potential business model for agroforestry system

Samenvatting

In the Netherlands, intensification of agriculture has led to doubled yield per hectare, but the production driven practice come with an alarming and irreversible effects on the environment. Pressure on land and natural resources is increasing, biodiversity is declining, and climate change is getting more severe. Farmers have to rely more heavily on external output and are more vulnerable to climate change. As population grows, so as the demand for food. Resolving the conflict of interest between agricultural production and nature conservation is not an easy task. At the same time policy makers are asked to set targets for nature conservation and sustainable agriculture. Agroforestry can be a possible pathway towards closing the yield gap and creating sustainable intensification because it can generate environmental, social and economic benefits. This study was conducted to explore the potential business model for agroforestry system of two farms in Arnhem and Noord Brabant.
