TP 6: Scientific Outreach

Summary

The first two project phases of SIGNAL showed that the investigated agroforestry systems significantly increased soil functions such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity and protection against erosion. The aim of phase III and sub-project 6 is to link science and practice and remove obstacles in order to promote agroforestry in Germany.
In phase III the DeFAF e.V. (German association for agroforestry) has the task of working out the practical relevance of the findings from the SIGNAL sub-projects and making them available to farms and other actors from practice. As part of this sub-project, field days and workshops will take place in Lower Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg, also at the locations of the SIGNAL test areas.
