Summary in the original language of the document
In former centuries hedge rows had been used in many ways by farmers. Leaves were harvested as winter fodder and hedges were used as living fences. A new approach to integrate hedge rows into modern organic farming is to combine hedges with outdoor runs for laying hens. Agro-environmental schemes may bring new opportunities for production hedges in farming systems.
