Agroforestry is a sustainable land management approach that combines the cultivation of trees or woody plants with agricultural crops or livestock on the same piece of land.This integrated system provides ecological and economic benefits, including:
Healthier Soil
Biodiversity Conservation
Land Productivity
Agroforestry enhances biodiversity, improves soil health, and increases crop yields, while also sequestering carbon and reducing erosion. It provides farmers with diverse income streams, promoting both environmental sustainability and economic resilience in rural communities.
Can reach up to 80% of the biodiversity of natural forests.1
30% more productive than one-crop systems over 10 years.
Can retain up to 53% more nitrogen than cropland.2
