English Abstract: In today’s world, protecting our environment is increasingly important. Responsible producers strive to develop farming methods that put less strain on nature. These solutions include a variety of alternative farming systems, including agroforestry systems. The essence of agroforestry is to combine woody vegetation with agricultural crops and/or livestock in a production system. Based on previous research, consumers are unaware of these systems and their products. In the course of my research, I map the subjective opinion of consumers about agroforestry products and their potential market using a Q-method. Using factor analysis, I distinguished three groups of opinions, which I named “Open, Interested Consumers for Agricultural Forestry Products”, “Influential Consumers” and “Customers Adhering to Their Habits”. A similar survey has not yet been conducted in Hungary, so it can help to develop a marketing strategy for the agroforestry sector.
