When was the last time you saw a crow close up? And when was the last time a crow looked right back at you? Have you ever wondered what goes on behind those dark beady eyes? Well, it’s a lot more than you might give crows credit for. In the second installment of our series exploring the natural world within urban environments, we delve into the realm of the crow. Ungainly compared to a wren, untuneful beside a nightingale, unkempt in the face of a peacock, the crow has a somewhat maligned image. Time then, for an ode to the crow. A love song to the unsung.

$Boosting climate resilience with agroforestry – On the Green Fence #agroforestry #climatechange #farming Episode 4: Boosting climate resilience with agroforestry Julius Nennewitz isn’t a traditional farmer. After taking over his mother’s land, he decided he wanted to try something different: agroforestry. Instead of monoculture fields, his farm in central Germany has dozens of fruit and nut trees growing amongst crops. Only a fraction of farms in Europe are managed this way. But Julius is convinced an agroforestry system is the way to go. He believes it can shrink the sizeable carbon footprint of the agriculture sector while at the same time making farms more resilient in the face of climate change. Interviewees featured in this episode: Sonja Kay, agroforestry researcher at Agroscope, Switzerland Julius Nennewitz, organic farmer, Werragut, Eschwege On the Green Fence is produced by DW studios in Bonn, Germany.
