Tropical Agroforestry

Tropical agroforestry is an integrated land use system where different types of trees—and often crops or livestock—are grown together in tropical regions. This method mimics natural ecosystems, enhancing biodiversity and soil health while providing food, income, and ecological benefits. It helps protect the environment, conserve water, and reduce reliance on chemical inputs by combining agriculture and forestry practices sustainably. Agroforestry is especially valuable in tropical areas as it promotes resilient farming systems, supports local communities, and preserves forests by reducing the need for clear-cutting.
