Agroforestry
Agroforestry is the practice of deliberately integrating woody vegetation (trees or shrubs) with crops and/or animal systems to benefit from the resulting ecological and economic interactions. Existing research indicates that appropriate application of agroforestry principles and practices is a key means by which the European Union might achieve more sustainable methods of food and fibre production whilst producing both profits for farmers and environmental benefits for society

D5.1 - Analysis of policy implementation at EU level and different European Countries and CAP strategies
The deliverable 5.1 aims at analysing the agroecology policy implementation at EU level and different European countries and CAP strategies. It has been structured in sections by analysing the agroecology policy definition based on a literature review that considers policy, but also end-users needs and research advances to fully understand the agroecology perception from different perspectives to deliver more targeted policies. The second section evaluates the role of agroecology within the European policies from a global perspective linked to strategies and the post-2020 CAP. The third section analyses how agroecology was fostered in the past considering the rules of the post-2020 CAP. Whenever relevant, the linkages with organic farming as a well stablished concept was also evaluated.Due to the delay in delivery the CAP strategies, which will be approved in July 2022, it was not possible to provide a concrete and valid analysis of the CAP strategies at country level, which will be the basis of the next policy report to be delivered at the end of the project as the basis of EU agroecology strategy that will be adapted at country level
Horse grazing systems: understory biomass and plant biodiversity of a Pinus radiata stand
Horse grazing systems may affect productivity and biodiversity of understory developed under Pinus radiata D. Don silvopastoral systems, while acting as a tool to reduce the risk of fire. This study compared continuous and rotational grazing systems effect upon biomass, fractions of stem, sprouts, leaves and woody parts of Ulex europaeus L. and alpha (Species Richness, Shannon-Wiener) and beta (Jaccard and Magurran) biodiversity for a period of four years in a P. radiata silvopastoral system. The experiment consisted of a randomized block design of two treatments (continuous and rotational grazing). Biomass, and species abundances were measured - biodiversity metrics were calculated based on these results for a two years of grazing and two years of post-grazing periods. Both continuous and rotational grazing systems were useful tools for reducing biomass and, therefore, fire risk. The rotational grazing system caused damage to the U. europaeus shrub, limiting its recovery once grazing was stopped. However, the more intensive grazing of U. europaeus plants under rotational had a positive effect on both alpha and beta biodiversity indexes due to the low capacity of food selection in the whole plot rather than continuous grazing systems. Biomass was not affected by the grazing system; however the rotational grazing system is more appropriate to reduce U. europaeus biomass and therefore forest fire risk at a long term and to enhance pasture biodiversity than the continuous grazing system
