The main objective of the LIFE AgroForAdapt project is to promote agroforestry systems for climate change adaptation of the agrarian and forestry sectors in the Mediterranean. The aim is to implement agroforestry systems in areas where they are still generally unknown, such as in Catalonia and Castile-Leon, Spain. Work will be focused on two types of agroforestry systems: silvoarable and silvopastoral. These systems will improve resilience to drought and forest fires, while enhancing the delivery of multiple ecosystem services such as biodiversity protection and carbon sequestration. They will also provide socio-economic benefits, such as income diversification, increased farm profitability and enhanced landscape/sociocultural values, through the production of new products for emerging markets.
