www.agricology.co.uk is a hub that explores moving towards farming systems that harness ecological processes & holistic approaches to help balance productive agriculture with enhancing the wider environment. In 2020, we chatted with some of the movers & shakers in the fields, labs & food supply chains; focusing on sustainable farming practices in 'Agroecology in focus' & speaking with innovating farmers 'In the field.' We returned in 2024 'In conversation with' an exciting line up of farmers, researchers, advisors & industry figures who set out to explore optimal carrying capacity; the practical, philosophical & pertinent. This was followed in 2025 by a diverse range of voices exploring the complex & often polarising topic of tillage - to till or not to till? Out now is our latest series 'Agroforestry Through the Elements.' Grounding each episode around the themes of water, fire, earth, air, and people offers a dynamic and exciting way to explore individual topics while emphasising the fundamentally interconnected nature of agroforestry systems.

Agroforestry Through the Elements - People
Episode 29
Thursday, 11 December, 2025
This is the last episode of a new series exploring agroforestry, in which we use the elements as a framework to deepen understanding and challenge assumptions around trees on farms. The overarching aim is to explore how trees on farms contribute to more than just individual functions, holding the ability to transform whole landscapes and ecosystems. This episode dives into the human element of agroforestry. Wallace Currie welcomes Andy Dibben, Bid Webb and Dr Jonathan Code who focus on the educational and social dimensions that shape how agroforestry is understood and adopted. We explore the importance of co-design, community networks, shared knowledge, and long-term relationships in building agroforestry systems that work for both land and livelihoods.
