About this grant

The Daniel Schlegel Environmental Foundation supports agroforestry projects that integrate trees, hedges, and flower strips into farmland to combine agriculture with nature conservation. The foundation addresses the crisis of conventional agriculture's reliance on pesticides, soil degradation, water scarcity, and the disappearance of insects and wildlife from European farmland. The foundation allocates financial resources for trees, hedges, and planting work on bio-certified farms, while farms contribute their own share through logistics and labor. The foundation has supported 45 hectares of agroforestry area and works in collaboration with planning offices to implement agroforestry plantings across Germany.

About this sector

Regenerative agriculture funding supports soil health, cover cropping, reduced tillage, agroforestry and grazing practices that store carbon and restore land. It comes through agricultural support schemes, research programmes and supply-chain initiatives run with food companies. Applicants often need farmer partners, field trial plans and a way to monitor soil outcomes.
