• Nr. 1 - Sweden
• Nr. 2 - Denmark

Even in the number 1 and 2 SDG ranking countries in the world, there is still not a sustainable solution when it comes to land use, agriculture and nature. We need to fix this and agroforestry is

• ne of the greatest opportunities.

Regen Farmer Vision

Vision: Accelerate the transition to agroforestry Goal: facilitate transition of 5 million hectares by 2025 How: Apply technology to accelerate the transition by making agroforestry a cheap, fast and convenient option. Transition Consolidation Screening and assessment Design and planning Implementation Management and monitoring

Why this transition requires technology

Time (limited) Technology is scalable (cheap, fast and convenient) I’m not scalable 5 mil. ha

Technologies

Big data and data analysis Simulation and modelling Remote sensing and IoT

Technology-problem fit

Remote sensing and IoT Simulation and modelling Big data and data analysis Customized and context- specific solution - Each farm is unique (Convenient) Speed and iteration (fast and cheap) Manage complexity of agroforestry systems (Convenient and cheap) Major problems with accelerating transition

Technology and transitional stages

Remote sensing and IoT Simulation and modelling Big data and data analysis Assessment Design and planning Management and monitoring

Our solutions

How the agroforestry screening works

Algorithm Database Best practice farms + research Interface Data layers Agroforestry system suitability results

Finding the best solutions through our database

Identify or develop custom systems Ecoregions total = 867 (600) System types = 18 (50) - No species 600 * 50 = 30.000 options+ Based on best practice and research

Cases

Farm level screening

Alley cropping system in Kenya Location: Ngulu, Kenya Type: Conventional Size: 1-12 ha Screening for farm in Kenya. Based on the screning an alley cropping system with annual crop rotation and a tree row system with 3 different trees species were identified as the most appropriate.

Farm level screening

Grazed orchard system in Denmark Location: Fyn, Denmark Type: Organic Size: 4 ha Screening of farm in Denmark. Based on the screening a grazed orchard system were identified as the most appropriate.

Regional screening

Climate adaptation and mitigation through agroforestry Location: Denmark Type: Mixed Size: 14680 ha area assessed The assessment of Faxe municipality watershed involved data layers about land use, vegetation, administrative layers, soil pH, hydrology and topography. Based on the assessment 6 specific existing farms were identified for further exploration to implement a Silvopoultry agroforestry system.

Assessment and design model prototype example

Location: Denmark Type: Regenerative Size: 4 ha
