Why you should consider agroforestry
Financial incentives are very tempting – and the same piece of land can be eligible for agroforestry grants and premiums, BISS, CRISS and Organic Payments
There are examples of silvo-pasture in Ireland, which combines livestock and trees
The new Forestry Programme 2023-2027 has thrown up some exciting options for farmers to create an aesthetically interesting and financially rewarding feature on their farms.
The financial incentives of afforestation have been substantially improved. The forest premium for farmers has been extended to 20 years and the rate of payment has increased to €863/ha (€349/ac) for mixed conifers and up to €1,142/ha (€462/ac) for certain forest types.
