Whitehall Farm: An Innovative silvoarable orchard system in the UK

Throughout the world the practice of growing crops in between trees has been carried out for centuries. Since the industrial revolution, farm mechanisation has led to decline in this practice as largescale agriculture, monocultures and commodity production has driven farming towards the economies of scale.
