Why introduce trees?

Trees, like poplar and willow, can provide pigs, managed in pasture-based systems, with a natural and stimulus rich environment. Sows and piglets can find shade in hot seasons and shelter in wet and windy weather. Further, the pigs can rub against the trees for skin care.

Featured Farm of the day

Gunarsholt’s windbreaks in Iceland

The farm in Gunarsholt belongs to the governmental agency – Soil Conservation Service (SCS). In 1944, Icelandic government purchased the land and undertook efforts to restore the land to the sustainable production. After many years of intensive work, the farm is presently simply submerged in greenness.
