The initial stakeholder meeting was held on 30 May 2014. The stakeholders perceived positive environmental, animal health and welfare benefits, and tree survival from grazing and intercropping plantations. By contrast, respondents had negative perceptions regarding management, economics, and the administrative burden. Potential research themes included the bio-economic consequence of grazing high quality timber plantations; the use of legumes; pollarding practice; selection of shade-adapted cereal, legume, and grass species and cultivars; and the response of cereal crops to neighbouring trees. This webpage describes the results focused on grazing and intercropping with legumes. The results focused on cereal varieties are reported in work-package 4.
