Casi en ningún lugar han desaparecido árboles tan rápidamente y en tal medida en un contexto agrícola como en el sur de los Países Bajos y en Flandes. La Red Agroforestal de Noord-Brabant en los Países Bajos está formada por unos 50 agricultores que tienen la ambición de aplicar la agroforestería en sus explotaciones. Esta red se puso en contacto con el Consorcio Flamenco de Agroforestería y su RAIN de AFINET para compartir experiencias y conocimientos disponibles en otros lugares. Lee más sobre esta colaboración aquí.
Un total de 273 actores del sector agroforestal, de los cuales 105 eran productores, han participado en las terceras reuniones de las RAIN en todas las regiones del proyecto AFINET. El objetivo de contar con al menos un tercio de participantes de perfil productor en las RAINs se alcanzó, con una representación media del 38%, similar a la de las RAINs anteriores.
La práctica de sembrar cultivos entre árboles ha existido durante siglos en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, desde la revolución industrial, la mecanización agrícola ha provocado una disminución de estas prácticas, ya que la agricultura a gran escala, los monocultivos y la producción de productos básicos han llevado a la agricultura hacia economías de gran escala. En el Reino Unido, la deforestación ha reducido significativamente el número de árboles dentro del paisaje cultivado.
