Agroforestry
Agroforestry is a land use management system that combines agriculture and forestry practices to achieve sustainable land use. It involves the integration of trees and shrubs into agricultural systems, providing multiple benefits such as improved soil health, increased biodiversity, and enhanced ecosystem services. Agroforestry systems can vary widely depending on the specific goals and environmental conditions, and may include practices such as alley cropping, windbreaks, silvopasture, and forest farming. This integrated approach helps to optimize the use of natural resources and promote long-term resilience in agricultural landscapes.
