Wakelyns Agroforestry: Resilience through Diversity

Organic Research Centre

Free

Pioneering Suffolk research farm Wakelyns was established in 1994 by our friend and mentor the late professor Martin Wolfe to test and develop agroforesty approaches that integrate annual crops (like lentils and cereals) with trees and other perennial plants.

Martin aimed to increase diversity in fields and between fields, an approach that increases overall yields and ensures the farm is better able to cope with climatic variability, pest and disease pressures and is less dependent on inputs, like fertiliser, from outside the farm.

The farm has four agroforestry silvo-arable systems; hazel coppice, willow coppice, a fruit and nut tree system and a mixed hardwood and fruit tree system. The trees are planted in rows or as production hedges running north/south with organic crops grown in rotation within the 10-12m wide alleys.

Published by the Organic Research Centre and Woodland Trust, this booklet offers a fascinating and inspiring insight into the development, practice and legacy of Wakelyns.

Soy No More: Breaking away from soy in UK pig and poultry farming

Feedback, Sustain, Landworkers' Alliance, Hodmedod

Free

Models like the one presented in the report are incredibly useful tools when it comes to imagining what change might look like - it was a similar exercise that prompted us to found Hodmedod - but they shouldn't be read as predictions. Instead they're thought experiments based on the best available evidence and in our case, with boundaries set to help make best use of the time available. Be provoked, be moved to act - but don't imagine this is the last word! Read more on our blog...
