What's odd is that there's a growing body of evidence that agro-forestry is a win-win and not an either/or. Plenty of UK farmers who can explain this to the NFU & DEFRA ie more trees on farms can increase farm incomes & deliver the same amount of food production + new wood fibre.

And what is the EU doing to ensure they are as efficient as possible?

The Circularity Gap Report 2023 reports the global economy is now only 7.2% circular. This stood at 9.1 % in 2018. The global situation is getting worse driven by rising material extraction & use including aggregates for concrete. @CEIBois @TimberDevUK
