#9 Selecting fruit tree varieties for climate resilience with Pierre Barbieux

#9 Selecting fruit tree varieties for climate resilience with Pierre Barbieux

In this episode, Pierre shares with us his work at the Bois de Rode Bos, where he is experimenting with tree varieties to find the most adapted ones to the evolving Belgian climate. It is amazing to realise the genetic diversity that we are not familiar with and the potential it can offer for agricultural production, yet at the same time we understand how technical this work is. Pierre talks us through his selection process, from sourcing rare genetics to trialling them on his land. As we delve into the details of some specific trees such as mulberries and figs we can see how much he has learnt through experimentation and how this knowledge lays the foundations of his emerging business. You'll come out with a clearer picture of what it takes to do such work and of the possibilities and challenges this offers for fruit production.
