Agroforestry Futures

英国基于自然的解决方案，如植树，必须与农业部门合作，因为农业使用了英国70%以上的土地，并且是温室气体的主要排放者。实现联合王国的植树目标和减少农业温室气体排放可能需要将目前的农业用地转换为其他土地用途。农林复合经营，即在同一块土地上有意将树木与农业结合起来，是一种替代土地利用方式，既能维持粮食生产，又能降低温室气体排放，提供关键的生态系统服务，创造和改善（农村）生计。复合农林业支持的几个目标不仅与净零相关，而且与英国政府的25年环境计划和清洁增长战略有关。然而，农林业的环境和社会效益只有通过包括农民和土地管理者在内的主要利益攸关方的广泛采用才能实现。AF未来项目的总体目标是共同制定战略，以克服障碍，确定促进者，并增加机会，在不同的英国背景下的农林实践。研究的重点是了解不同利益相关者群体确定的偏好和感知挑战的相似性，以及如何在地方和国家背景下解决这些问题，将使用多学科方法与AF未来一起进行。自然、社会和经济、科学、艺术和人文的融合是AF Futures活动的核心。将通过不同的学科视角，综合研究监管结构、经济激励措施、社会经济驱动因素和影响以及农艺干预措施如何塑造农林实践。艺术和人文将被用来创造从过去的农林业到未来的农林业的视觉过渡，如果采用不同的特定农林业方法，将社会经济成果与未来的生物多样性和生态系统服务结合起来。

UK nature-based solutions, such as tree planting, must engage with the agricultural sector, given that agriculture usesmore than 70 per cent of the land in the UK and is a major emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Meeting the UK's treeplanting targets and reducing agricultural GHG emissions may require converting current agricultural land to alternativeland-uses. Agroforestry, where trees are deliberately combined with agriculture on the same piece of land, is onealternative land-use that maintains food production, but which can also drive down GHG emissions, deliver key ecosystemservices, and create and improve (rural) livelihoods. Agroforestry supports several goals not only relevant to Net Zero, butfor the UK government's 25 Year Environment Plan and Clean Growth Strategy. However, the environmental and societalbenefits of agroforestry can only be realized through widespread adoption by key stakeholders, including farmers and landmanagers. The overall objective of the AF Futures project is to co-develop strategies to overcome barriers to, identifyfacilitators of, and increase opportunities for agroforestry practices in different UK contexts. Research focused onunderstanding the similarities in preferences and perceived challenges identified by different stakeholder groups, as well ashow these might be addressed in local and national contexts will be conducted with AF futures, using a multidisciplinaryapproach. Integration of the natural, social and economic, sciences and arts and humanities is central to activities withinAF Futures. Research addressing how regulatory structures, economic incentives, socio-economic drivers and impacts,and agronomic intervention shape agroforestry practices will be integrated through different disciplinary lenses. The artsand humanities will be used to create visual transitions from past representations of agroforestry to agroforestry futures,which integrate socio- economic outcomes and future biodiversity and ecosystem services, if adoption of different particularagroforestry approaches occurs.
