On 06. July 2023 the workshop "Agroforestry policy in practice and for the future" took place on the farm of the agroforestry pioneer and farmer Thomas Domin.
After a presentation of previous research results and a guided tour of Thomas Domin's farm, suggestions for improvements in agroforestry policy were discussed and prioritized together with representatives from agriculture, politics and administration. It became clear that, above all, government-funded advisory services, simplification of the use concept and its integration into the application for agricultural subsidies are considered essential. Financial incentives and an increase in premiums for agroforestry systems are also important, but not quite as significant.
