In United Kingdom there is an Atlantic Climate and agroforestry systems design are based on species choice:
- Tree/crop/livestock combinations based on livestock (ruminants and monogastrics), cereals, fruit and horticulture, timber and wood fuel.
In Spain there is an Atlantic Climate and agroforestry systems design are based on :
- Better tree design to promote adequate crop development and deliver biomass for renewable energy production.- Best combination of trees and livestock to increase the profitability of forestland, while reducing fire risk and preserve autochthonous
In Poland there is a Continental Climate and agroforestry systems design are based on:
- Promotion of antierosion shelterbelts establishment in openfield landscape and on steep slopes.
- Presence of trees for the micro-climate regulation.
- The impact of trees and bushes on breeding parameters of grassland grazing animals.
- Development of best practices on structural and spatial features design for new plantings.
In Italy there is a Mediterranean Climate and the agroforestry systems design is based on relevant crops as:
- olive groves associated with agricultural crops and/or pasture.
In Hungary there is a Continental Climate and agroforestry systems design are based on:
- Presence of trees for microclimate regulation- Shelterbelts, windbreaks for enhancing agricultural production and protection of land/line infrastructure
Tree/crop/livestock combinations based on:- Cropped arable and horticultural land- Temporary and permanent grasslands- Land used for fodder/energy production
In France there is an Atlantic Climate and agroforestry systems design are based on:
- Optimising system design (tree arrangement...) at landscape/watershed level (water and climate regulation, soil conservation...)
- Testing specific tree associations (fast and slow growing species).
- Adapting varieties to AF context (shadetolerance...).
In Finland there is a Boreal Climate and agroforestry systems design are based on:
- Traditional key biotopes.
- Woodland grazing and wood pastures with cows and sheep, chicken or bee keeping in orchards and different intercropping practices.
In Belgio c’è un clima atlantico e la progettazione di sistemi agroforestali si basa su:
- produzione di frutta
- produzione di legno
- integrazione del paesaggio
- benessere degli animali
- riduzione dell’erosione.
In Portugal there is a Mediterranean Climate and agroforestry systems design are based on:
- Tree/crop/animal species choice and tree density definition for alley cropping systems
- Crop/animal species choice for a sustainable regeneration of ‘montado’ AF systems.
- Tree design for preventing/limiting soil erosion and increasing soil fertility.
