- Climate change is one of the greatest risks that farmers have to face in Europe and worldwide, as crops and livestock are negatively impacted by rapid and steadily global warming and also by the increased frequency of extreme climate events that harm quantity, quality and stability of food production. Current farming systems should be more resilient and adapted to changing and unpredictable weather conditions. Agroforestry is able to improve farm resilience due to the increased farm diversification, self-sufficiency and reduced production costs. They can also improve community resilience and enhance mitigation through e.g. carbon sequestration and reduced mineral fertilizer needs as recommends the National adaptation strategies (NAS) and plans (NAP).
