Ornamentals, flowers and trees
Although floriculture and the cultivation of other ornamental plants and trees do not play a major role in organic agriculture production, it has an important role in agricultural landscapes. Flower-strips, for example, can positively influence on-farm biodiversity, attracting pollinators and natural enemies, providing valuable pollination and biocontrol services.
Trees and shrubs can also play a crucial role in sustainable agricultural systems, for example, in organic agroforestry. Agroforestry is the integration of forestry and agricultural systems.
In the section, find tools related to horticultural ornamentals, flower cultivation and integrating trees in a production system.
