Agroforestry

  • Topic

Agroforestry is an innovative approach to farming that integrates trees, shrubs, and other perennial plants with traditional agricultural practices. This combination offers a symbiotic relationship: the trees provide shade, protect against soil erosion, and can even introduce vital nutrients back into the ground, while crops benefit from improved soil health and microclimates. Beyond the agricultural advantages, agroforestry plays a significant role in biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, and offers diversified income streams for farmers through timber and non-timber products.
