Almost 30% of the agricultural land in Mansfeld-Südharz is threatened by water erosion: These and other topics were discussed on 26.06.2025 in the castle in Roßla (municipality of Südharz) at the 2nd SMART Agroforst Day of our SMART Agroforst project. More than 70 stakeholders from business, science and administration came together. They talked about the potential of woody plants and agroforestry systems to strengthen climate resilience in the area, but also as a source of raw materials for future value chains in green chemistry and construction with renewable raw materials. Various aspects of the project were presented as part of an exhibition. During the subsequent excursion, the ecological and economic potential was then discussed using real examples of groves and agroforestry systems in the Mansfeld-Südharz district.
We would like to thank the entire project consortium for actively helping to organize the event, the municipality of Südharz for the opportunity to hold our SMART Agroforst Day in Roßla Castle, the Mansfeld-Südharz location company for the exciting cooperation in Roßla and the DiP coordination office for the great support and look forward to the next SMART Agroforst Day!
