Goethe INSTITUTE: IS AGROFORESTRY JUST A UTOPIA?

UTOPIA: AGROFORESTRY?

The climate is changing, natural resources are dwindling and environmental pollution is becoming an ever greater problem. What solutions do the economy, social movements and Indigenous perspectives offer?

Erosion, flooding, drought: ever more extreme weather events are making life difficult for conventional farmers. How can we produce food in a more environmentally compatible manner? One possible solution is currently being trialled in the Netherlands.

For Goethe Institute we produced a multimedia story on agroforestry.

“Utopia is a place where I showcase one way in which we can restore ecosystems while at the same time growing food for everyday consumption” -architect and agroforestry expert Xaver San Giorgi
