Data concerning Scanian farmers' willingness to introduce short-rotation plantations on agricultural land - a questionnaire study

To meet climate targets, expanding Populus spp. tree cultivation is proposed as a potential biomass feedstock, especially on agricultural land that does not come into conflict with food production. However, the majority of all biomass potential assessments typically overlook landowner/farmers' perspectives, risking a gap between theoretical potentials and realisation. The dataset was designed to: i) Assess farmers' willingness to cultivate hybrid aspen and poplar ii) Based on (i), estimate the potential for expanding hybrid aspen and poplar tree cultivations over the next decade (2021-2030) iii) Compare the estimate developed in (ii), with previous studies For more details, please refer to the Swedish version.
