Clinton Tepper is a forester and a farmer. 2½ years ago Clinton set up a demonstration plot and planted 3 species of trees for high value agroforestry. The plot allows the continued use of the planted area for crops and livestock for multiple benefits i.e. Multi Storey Farming. A wide range of crops and pastures were sown under the trees with some crops proving to be highly productive & others failing. Crops were diverse and included lucerne, clovers, rice, triticale, oats, linseed, sulla, fenugreek, bromes, fescues, grasses plus many others. The growth of the trees has been outstanding with livestock grazing under the trees by 14 months!
Some significant learnings have come out of this very unique trial which will challenge your thinking.
Clinton will talk about why he set up the trial, the outcomes achieved, and what he is doing differently now.
