Agroforestry

Agroforestry, otherwise called agro-sylviculture, is a practice of managing and protecting land containing trees and crops. It implements the techniques of both agriculture and forestry. The agroforestry system is one of the polyculture systems that can be advantageous over other conventional agriculture and forestry systems as it can yield high quantity and quality of wood, fruits, nuts, vegetables, medicinal and ornamental plants, animal products, and many more.

Agroforestry is part of sustainable agriculture and can provide social, environmental, and economic benefits. Other benefits include increased productivity, aesthetics, profits, better wildlife habitat, less pollution, better environmental health, improved soil quality, increased biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. Due to its potential benefits, agroforestry is adopted in many regions of the world.
