Launching

The Agroforestry Cooperative

The Agroforestry Cooperative is a farmer-led organisation designed to make agroforestry practical, profitable, and scalable across the UK. Our mission is to help farmers integrate trees into productive farmland.
Restoring ecosystems, building resilience, and creating long-term shared value from the land.

By working together, members access expert design, planting, and management services, along with collective marketing and ecosystem funding. The Cooperative pools knowledge, capital, and markets so that even small farms can benefit from the environmental and economic rewards of agroforestry.

Through collaboration, we remove the barriers that hold farmers back — from high upfront costs and technical uncertainty to lack of market access — and turn agroforestry into a shared opportunity for climate, biodiversity, and farming futures.

"I’m Thomas Gent, a 28-year-old fourth-generation farmer from South Lincolnshire. We’ve been farming regeneratively on 800 hectares since 2008. Recently, I’ve been exploring agroforestry—integrating trees into arable systems—to further boost resilience, biodiversity, and profitability.

Agroforestry has clear benefits, but like many farms, we lack the scale, equipment, and expertise to make it viable alone. That’s why I’m proposing an Agroforestry Cooperative—a new model to make tree planting practical, profitable, and scalable across arable landscapes.”
