Agroforestry in Fürth: How Trees are Changing the Agriculture of Tomorrow
How can biodiversity, secure yields, and climate protection be combined on the same land? The lecture Promoting Diversity on the Farm: The Future with Agroforestry invites attendees on November 10, 2026, at the vhs Fürth to learn about a forward-looking agricultural concept. The focus is on trees and shrubs that are intentionally combined with crop farming or livestock raising, creating resilient and diverse farming systems.
Rethinking Agriculture
Agroforestry combines ecological diversity with agricultural use. The event demonstrates how woody plants in fields and grazing systems can create habitats, protect soils, and contribute to climate adaptation. Current research findings highlight the opportunities these systems offer for biodiversity, income, and food security.
Practical Examples from Around the World
Yana Laber, a cultural geographer and certified multiplier for development policy education in Fair Trade, will present practical examples from Germany, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The international perspective makes clear how differently agroforestry systems can be designed and what role local conditions, farming methods, and fair value creation play.
Conscious Shopping and Supporting Agroforestry
Another focus is on how consumers can recognize products from agroforestry systems. The lecture translates complex interconnections from research and development policy into practical guidance for shopping. A tasting of fairly traded agroforestry products rounds off the event experience and directly connects the topics of sustainability, enjoyment, and global justice.
Education for Sustainable Development in Fürth
The event connects to the educational work of Welthaus and the World Shop in Fürth. The Fürth network has been committed to global learning, fair trade, and education for sustainable development for many years. The city of Fürth holds the title of Fairtrade Town and was awarded the capital of Fair Trade in 2021. Thus, the evening is part of a vibrant local educational and sustainability effort.
Conclusion: Experience Sustainable Agriculture Live
The evening combines solid expert knowledge, international perspectives, and concrete actions. Attendees can expect a vivid introduction to agroforestry, a tasting of fair products, and an event experience with societal relevance. Those who want to understand how agriculture can become more climate-resilient and diverse will experience an informative evening with practical impulses in Fürth.
