episode 38: #38 Understanding a EU funded pig agroforestry system with Carl Sheard
My guest today is Carl Sheard who produces pigs in France. He has received EU funding for his project so we try and understand with him what kind of opportunity it offers farmers in Europe. He also shares some of the challenges he has encountered with deers and we assess together the potential for increasing the proportion of perennials in pigs’s diet.
**In Collaboration with Agromix**
