This study aimed to explore the knowledge and attitudes of livestock farmers from the United Kingdom regarding agroforestry planning and management issues. The farmers (n = 48) answered an online survey with demographic, open, closed and Likert scale questions. Almost half of the participants said they need more information to successfully plan and manage an agroforestry system, and self-reported low knowledge on management practices related to trees. Participants stated they did not expect to receive technical support from governmental agencies to maintain the agroforestry area. However, they would like to improve their knowledge through field days, courses, and Internet sources. Benefits to the environment, animals and farm profitability were considered central to successful agroforestry systems. In conclusion, participants cannot successfully plan and manage agroforestry, but they are willing to improve their knowledge and skills.

本研究旨在探索英国畜牧养殖户对农林业规划和管理问题的了解与态度。养殖户(n = 48)回答了一项包含人口统计学、开放式、封闭式和李克特量表问题的在线调查。近一半的参与者表示,他们需要更多信息才能成功规划和管理农林业系统,且自我报告称对与树木相关的管理实践了解不足。参与者表示,他们不期望从政府机构获得技术支持来维护农林业区域。然而,他们希望通过田间日活动、课程和互联网资源来提高自己的知识水平。对环境、动物和农场盈利能力的益处被认为是成功的农林业系统的核心。总之,参与者无法成功规划和管理农林业,但他们愿意提高自己的知识和技能。
