Agroforestry Systems

Agroforestry systems combine agriculture and forestry by integrating trees and shrubs with crops and livestock on the same land. This approach enhances biodiversity, improves soil health, and increases farm productivity. Trees provide shade, wind protection, and habitat for wildlife, while their roots help prevent soil erosion. Additionally, agroforestry can improve water management and offer additional income through timber or fruit production. By promoting a sustainable and resilient farming practice, agroforestry systems help farmers adapt to climate change and contribute to environmental conservation while meeting food production needs.
