My guest today is Carl Sheard who produces pigs in France. He has received EU funding for his project so we try and understand with him what kind of opportunity it offers farmers in Europe. He also shares some of the challenges he has encountered with deers and we assess together the potential for increasing the proportion of perennials in pigs’s diet. **In Collaboration with Agromix**https://agromixproject.eu/TABLE OF CONTENTS1:38 Introduction08:18 Design and technical support10:22 EU funding13:38 Tree layout and description of systems19:47 How much feed to expect from agroforestry systems?29:56 Challenge of deer damage32:48 Managing the tree lines45:36 Do you think your trees can pay for themselves?  • RESOURCEShttps://www.instagram.com/bluepigfarm/https://thebluepig.monsite-orange.fr/index.htmlhttps://agromixproject.eu/in-the-field/pilot-projects/blue-pig-farm/• GET IN TOUCH www.regenerativeagroforestry.org• SUPPORT US www.gumroad.com/regenagroforestry• FOLLOW US on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram• FUNDING FOR EUROPEAN PROJECTS https://explore.ecosia.org/regenerative-agriculture Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
