Richard Smith - Keeping Chickens and Agroforestry

From the business basics to having your own at home, Richard Smith, Senior Farms Manager at Daylesford Organic, talks us through some of the common questions on keeping chickens.⠀ ⠀ The 30 acre site where the chickens are housed at Daylesford has been integrated into an agroforestry system: the woodland combines fruit trees and nut trees providing food, with willow that can be used for fuel. ⠀ ⠀ Agroforestry has a range of benefits from restoring soil health, to storing carbon and higher welfare standards, in this case for poultry. Agricology has lots of examples that outline the environmental and economic benefits have these approaches and have resulted  in crop productivity, biodiversity, increases in soil carbon, utilising space efficiently and increasing climate change resilience.⠀ ⠀
