Science Meets Business: ReForest and DeepRoots Collaborate to Accelerate Agroforestry Adoption Across Europe
London, UK — DeepRoots has announced a strategic collaboration with the ReForest project, bridging the gap between cutting-edge scientific research and real-world commercial application. The partnership ensures that the latest agroecological insights are transformed into actionable tools, enabling landowners and farmers to make evidence-based decisions for Agroforestry.
At the core of DeepRoots’ mission is the conviction that science must underpin land-use decisions. By bringing the best of European research into its AI-powered platform, DeepRoots ensures that farmers have the very latest evidence available to inform their transition to more resilient systems.
“Science is the foundation of everything we do at DeepRoots,” said Joss Rogers, Co-Founder & CEO of DeepRoots. “This partnership with ReForest allows us to take advanced models, which often stay within academia, and put them directly into the hands of decision-makers. It’s about ensuring that the transition to agroforestry is grounded in the best available research and measurable data.”
Translating Research into Actionable Tools
ReForest, an international project dedicated to fostering innovation in agroforestry, delivers advanced models and datasets grounded in extensive research. These resources provide measurable insights into how mixed land-use systems enhance biodiversity, sequester carbon, regenerate soils, and build climate resilience at the farm level.
DeepRoots integrates research outcomes into its platform, enabling retailers and farmers to design, finance, and implement projects with confidence. By embedding ReForest’s research into practical applications, the collaboration enables users to visualise ecological outcomes, such as improvements in soil health and carbon potential, alongside commercial farm management.
A Blueprint for Evidence-Led Transition
This collaboration is a good example of "science in action": using research results to develop real-world solutions that benefit ecosystems and farm businesses alike.
Advanced Modelling: DeepRoots utilises ReForest’s datasets to provide field-specific recommendations that are scientifically validated.
Evidence-Based Decisions: Farmers have access to the latest findings on tree-crop interactions and ecosystem services to reduce risk during their transition.
Scalable Impact: The partnership demonstrates that agroforestry is not just an ecological concept, but a measurable and financeable land-use strategy.
"The work we are doing with DeepRoots ensures that our research results in real-world impact," said Professor Martin Lukac from ReForest. "By combining our research with DeepRoots' technology, we can help farmers across Europe adopt agroforestry systems that are demonstrably both resilient and productive."
Technology as the Conduit for Science
The project showcases how technology acts as the essential bridge between complex science and on-farm delivery. DeepRoots’ platform simplifies complex agroecological data, moving beyond high-level ambition to deliver actionable, site-specific pathways for the agricultural sector.
As pressure grows on global food systems to deliver verified climate and nature outcomes, the partnership between DeepRoots and ReForest demonstrates how integrating science and innovation can accelerate the shift toward a regenerative future.
