New approaches to producing selected varieties of chestnut - Meeting the demands for quality chestnuts

Why do we need new systems for the production of chestnut?

Agroforestry with chestnut (Castanaea sativa Miller) is a traditional land use system in the eastern part of the Lugo province in Galicia, North West Spain. Although chestnut groves are rarely intercropped (due to the low understorey production) or grazed (due to the fear of tree damage), the groves create a finegrained mosaic of land uses including cropland and forests. However, where high slopes make chestnut harvesting unprofitable, pig grazing does occur during the autumn and winter. Chestnut woodlands are also one of the best habitats for the commercial production of edible mushrooms.

Dehesa of Casablanca, Oliva de Plasencia, Cáceres, Spain

The former Sylva-Saltus-Ager land use system of the Romans, by which the forest, the pasture and the crop field were established in separate areas, have been integrated today into the so-called Dehesa land use system of southwestern Spain.
