New film 'Trees on my land' shows the potential of agroforestry in Western Europe.
Trees on my Land
Discover the captivating world of agroforestry in the upcoming film ‘Trees on my Land’. Directed by Joris van der Kamp and commissioned by the “Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality” in the Netherlands. This documentary takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the picturesque landscapes of Belgium and Northern France, where pioneering farmers are redefining the relationship between agriculture and nature.
Agroforestry
Through four seasons of filming, van der Kamp meticulously captures the stories of these innovative farming families who have embraced agroforestry as a means of integrating trees and shrubs into their agricultural practices. Their efforts not only enhance biodiversity but also contribute to the resilience and sustainability of their farms. From agroforestry systems that support diverse ecosystems to methods that promote soil health and water conservation, ‘Trees on my Land’ offers a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted benefits of agroforestry.
Roots and Renewal
In my book Roots and Renewal I also write about the benifits of encorporating multipurpose trees like Moringa and Neem tree in agriculture and my experience how they helped me to deal with the harsh growing conditions in Aruba.
