#38 Understanding an EU funded pig agroforestry system with Carl Sheard

<p>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.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>**In Collaboration with Agromix**</strong></p><p><a href="https://agromixproject.eu/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://agromixproject.eu/</a></p><p><strong>TABLE OF CONTENTS</strong></p><p>1:38 Introduction</p><p>08:18 Design and technical support</p><p>10:22 EU funding</p><p>13:38 Tree layout and description of systems</p><p>19:47 How much feed to expect from agroforestry systems?</p><p>29:56 Challenge of deer damage</p><p>32:48 Managing the tree lines</p><p>45:36 Do you think your trees can pay for themselves?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><strong>• RESOURCES</strong></p><p>https://www.instagram.com/bluepigfarm/</p><p>https://thebluepig.monsite-orange.fr/index.html</p><p><strong>• GET IN TOUCH&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.regenerativeagroforestry.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.regenerativeagroforestry.org</a></p><p><strong>• SUPPORT US</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://gumroad.com/regenagroforestry" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.gumroad.com/regenagroforestry</a></p><p><strong>• FOLLOW US</strong>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/Regagroforestry" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/RegenerativeAgroforestry" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/regenerativeagroforestry" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/regenerativeagroforestry/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener nore
