The Agroforestry in Australia
a French perspective of growing and using trees on farms in Australia
We are two french at AgroParisTech, the life science branch of ParisTech, which is a consortium of ten of the foremost French Graduate Institutes in Science and Engineering.
We travelled during 6 month around the East coast of Australia searching for new system of agroforestry. We met those farmers who try to integrate trees on their farm and interviewed them to share their experience and understand the benefice for them of trees.
After 6 month, 4 states (Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland) a lot of farmer and researcher from the CSIRO or PFT, we produced with the participation of SmarTimbers Cooperative, Australian Forest Growers, Farm Forest Growers Victoria and Private Forest Tasmania (PFT).
This video is our movie. We would like to show to Australian or French farmers what is agroforestry? What are the benefices of the agroforestry? The goal of our project is to use farmer’s experience to promote agroforestry.
During all our trip, we published for each farm an article on our website : agroforesterieaust.wixsite.com/afwt

In Queensland, near Gympie, we visited the farm of Sean Ryan. This region is really fertile so it’s mainly a dairy region.. That cause some issues of soil erosion. Sean Ryan decided when he bought his property to stop the dairy activity and plant trees to protect and valorise his soil. En Queensland, près de Gympie, nous avons visité la propriété de Sean Ryan. La région de Gympie est très ferti...

An example of agroforestry design
Переглядів 8998 років тому
Andrew et Jill ont une vision très intéressante et très complète de l’agroforesterie. Ils agencent leur plantation afin de profiter de l’ensemble des bénéfices des arbres. Un exemple de design : il plante 3 rangés d’arbre pour exploitation du bois, et entre chaque rangée, une rangé de petits arbres. Avec cela il obtint un coupe vent pour ses moutons, il produit du bois d’œuvre et crée des corri...

And you Ian How do you see the futur of your farm and the future of agroforestry in Tasmanie? Et vous Ian Comment imaginez vous le futur de votre ferme et celui de l'agroforesterie en Tasmanie?
good effort. thank you!
where can I order seeds for about 100 acres?
i wanna buy the oil in bulk quantity, can you provide me your email id or whatsapp number ? so that we can connect
He is handsome man. I love his face. ❤❤❤❤❤
I have tea tree,trees don't have equipment to cut and grind it from South Africa
Steam the leaves
I am wondering how the oil is extracted from the tree. Does it come from the tree's body or leaves?
I love it when someone realizes that destroying an entire forest for profit brings more destruction than profit in the long run. It is always, always, always better to work with nature than to rape her.
Intro Music sounds like it should belong on a Zelda game
Hold on. There’s something going on here.
03:37 he is handsome man. LOVE!
I just discovered this is tea tree ...and we have many trees at home..lol...and I have suffered with skin issues all my life...damn😏
Where is your home
This tea tree oil
Hello Sir...I'm from india I need this oil in a bulk quantity ..So, can you plz give your contact or email info. to me?
Thank you for not completely deforesting.
Great job! Thank you for sharing.
Are used Teatree
I just sprouted tea tree seeds....what temperatures can the seedlings withstand?
Well, they're from Australia so they like it between hot and not too cold.
Hii can you provide me tea tree oil plant seeds can you please text me +91-8919582577.
Great video, thank you. It shows how working with nature, rather than trying to impose our will upon nature, helps everybody. I am a fan of Natural Sequence Farming where the hydration of the land is the most important thing. This is where ALL plants, not just trees, work to create the right environment for productivity.
Thank you so much for sharing
Wow
i always want to know what they call tea tree.
I know that Eucalyptus is native to Australia but it exists as an exotic invasive species in plantations in many parts of the world. Because of its huge water uptake (90 litres per tree per day in summer months) it causes real problems in water stressed areas. It is also allelopathic and prevents other species from growing, resulting in ecologically dead forests. Walk through an indigenous natural forest and listen to the sounds of life, then walk through a Eucalyptus plantation and listen to the silence of a dead forest. I'm not sure this is the answer to our problems with climate change...
Peter Andrews (Natural Sequence Farming (and the grumpiest ol bugger in the world)) says that the eucalypt is a weed in Australia. Now, he likes weeds...except eucalypts!
Granadilla Films and yet Ernst Goetsch uses them as part of his Syntropic agroforestry system as a bulk biomass producer in Brazil. It’s a lot to do with how they are used on whether they are positive or negative.
@@davedrewett2196 Okay fair enough if they are used as part of a permaculture agroforestry system then maybe they have their place. I have to read up more about his work in Brazil. My main issue is where thousands of hectares of Eucalyptus is planted as one vast mono-crop replacing pristine tropical rain forest as is the case where I live. This has caused major problems in a vital rainfall catchment area. Eucalyptus plantations have no understory and do not hold rainwater like a natural forest.
Granadilla Films sure, no mono crop is good. As far as ground cover goes it depends on the species how allelopathic they are but also here in Australia we have species in their natural range that are adapted to grow with the eucalyptus. I could show you wet Sclerophyll forest that has highly diverse layers of vegetation. Oh course if you put them in a place monocropped without those other species you end up with a biological desert. It works with Syntropic ag because it’s used as successional plant and the branches get chipped and added to the forest floor. And some is dug in and the soil fungi break it down and that forms the basis of the soil fertility. At the end of the day it’s the biological breakdown of carbon in soil via fungi and microorganism that create plant food. The other thing that can be done is to convert it into biochar which is what I do ( I have 40 hectares of naturally occurring spotted gum and iron bark ) I just use the branches that the trees throw off naturally so I don’t even need to harvest the trees to do that and if I didn’t do it a bush fire would burn it anyway. So then you have permanently sequestered carbon which for growing food in the wet tropics or subtropics holds your nutrients. I think where eucalyptus comes into its own is on extremely poor soil because you can build biomass very quickly with zero fertiliser inputs. If you already have fertile soil then I think there are much better species of trees to grow.

Have you studied tropical agroforestry?
GOING INTO THIS VENTURE TOO
Check out my new book: "Heartwood: The art and science of growing trees for conservation and profit." by Rowan Reid, 300 page, full colour hardback. This is not one of those "Trees are wonderful mystical being" type of book - this is practice science for people who actually want to do something... See: www.agroforestry.net.au thanks.
To celebrate 30 years of tree growing on our Bambra Agroforestry Farm, I am running a number of autumn tours and his first 2-day Grow-your-own-furniture course. See more than 50 species grown for high quality timber and our mill in action. FOR MORE INFORMATION: agroforestry.net.au/main.asp?_=Farm%20Tours%20and%20Courses%202017
great video. Thankyou for sharing.
Very informative, Andrew. Your farm is fantastic, well thought out & helping the environment as well as all farming elements. Well done. Cheers Judy
Well said Rowan, I atended one of the Master Tree Growers Programs & found you an excellent teacher/advisor who takes time to listen to others as well as show us what you've learnt & the possiblities we can have with our own land through support of many others. Excellent oppurtunity in a friendly, casual atmosphere to give focus for the future, the food is great too. Will see you around, thanks.
good video. thanks for sharing it.
