Agroforestry systems for climate-sensitive species in northern Hesse - research into the transformation field based on an example area in Niedermeiser (KasselAgroForst)
Department involved in FB11 of the University of Kassel

Project objective
The core objective of the project is to analyze the potential and plan the implementation of agroforestry in the district of Kassel and in northern Hesse. To this end, business models for various agroforestry systems are analyzed, transformation conditions in the region are researched and municipalities are involved as catalysts.

However, by combining agricultural climate adaptation, nature conservation and a wide range of tasks in municipalities, agroforestry can be a "multi-tool" for effectively tackling regional challenges.
Together with you, we would like to develop the potential for agroforestry in the region:
- We network interested stakeholders from agriculture, processing, marketing, nature conservation and administration and offer space for exchange.
- We support the integration of agroforestry as a solution approach in municipal planning processes.
- We bundle information for the implementation of agroforestry systems, e.g. on business models, funding and marketing opportunities.
- We are involved in the design of a diverse demonstration area for agroforestry with nature conservation aspects in Niedermeiser (Kassel district).
