“I imagine that the rows of trees
that we establish will be here for
two hundred years, so if you spread
the establishment costs over that
time horizon, the establishment
costs are almost negligible.”
- Jesper Sandström, Kyrkbygård, Sweden, citation from
the film “Establishment of Silvopastoral Agroforestry”.

“If we were to grow wheat and hazel
separately, we would need 1.3 times
as much land as we do here, growing them together. You could say that
the yield increases by 30 percent, or
that it takes 30 percent less land to
get the same productivity.”
