Synopsis

Agroforestry for UK Small Farms is a practical guide to integrating trees with livestock and crops on small British farms. Designed for smallholders, mixed farmers and new landowners, it focuses on low-input systems that improve resilience, productivity and long-term income.

In this book, you’ll learn how to:

  • Assess soil, slope, wind and water on your holding

  • Design silvopasture systems for cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry

  • Use trees to improve grazing, shelter and grass regrowth

  • Plan alley cropping on limited land with machinery access

  • Choose fruit, nut, fodder and coppice trees suited to the UK

  • Establish hedgerows, shelterbelts and riparian buffers

  • Manage spacing, light and grazing pressure around trees

  • Avoid common planning mistakes in the first years

Whether your goal is better livestock welfare, diversified income or long-term land resilience, this book provides clear, UK-specific guidance grounded in practical farm realities.
