Samenvatting

Food forests form an interesting option in the development of a more sustainable form of agriculture. They are rapidly gaining in popularity in the Netherlands, although the uptake of the concept has mainly been on private estates and public land. The Dutch agricultural sector is sceptical of the concept due to a lack of existing research and established productive food forests. Food Forest Roggebotstaete was created to introduce this concept to government agencies, companies and farmers and show its potential.
