Farmers across Luxembourg are increasingly turning to agroforestry – combining agriculture and forestry – to strengthen their land against the effects of climate change and boost biodiversity. Numerous such projects have been launched throughout the country, with the Our Nature Park standing out as a leading example. Since 2023, farmers who participate in these schemes have received financial support for their efforts.
Within the Our Nature Park, the agroforestry project has already been implemented on twelve plots, covering a total area of 44 hectares. To date, nearly 1,000 high-value timber and fruit trees have been planted, along with 4,500 hedge plants, 19,000 poplars and willows, and 237 shrubs.
The villages of Troine and Derenbach are home to two exemplary agroforestry projects, demonstrating the benefits of this approach in practice. In January 2026, planting began on two sites, one covering four hectares and the other nearly 14 hectares. These diverse systems are designed not only to shield land from the impact of climate change but also to establish new production opportunities for farmers. At the same time, the initiatives prioritise nature conservation and promote greater biodiversity on each site.
