Bomenland builds a Dutch agroforestry ecosystem by organizing regional farmer clusters that match tree‑planting projects with confirmed market demand for nuts and fruit. It develops the full value chain—from seedling supply and agronomic support to processing and distribution—acting as both implementation partner and connector for growers, processors, and buyers. This end‑to‑end approach makes agroforestry economically scalable and creates a cooperative, nationwide infrastructure for locally sourced agroforestry products.

Problem
Many Dutch farms lack incentives and coordinated supply chains to integrate trees for nut and fruit production, resulting in underutilized agroforestry potential and fragmented market access for growers.
Solution
Bomenland creates a Dutch agroforestry ecosystem by organizing regional farmer clusters that directly match tree planting projects with existing market demand. The organization develops the full value chain—from seedling supply and planting support to processing and distribution—ensuring that growers, processors, and end‑users are aligned from the outset. By acting as both partner in implementation and connector across the chain, Bomenland enables economically scalable agroforestry, gradually building a nationwide infrastructure for nut and fruit products. The approach aims to transform agroforestry into a mature agricultural system that benefits farmers, supply‑chain partners, and the broader landscape.
