Agroforestry and Crop Integration
Agroforestry is a sustainable land-use system that integrates trees with crops and livestock, offering multiple ecological and economic benefits. By incorporating trees into farming systems, agroforestry enhances biodiversity, improves soil structure, and increases water retention, making crops more resilient to droughts and pests. Trees can act as windbreaks, reduce soil erosion, and provide shade to reduce temperature stress on crops. Additionally, agroforestry systems improve carbon sequestration, helping mitigate climate change. By strategically combining tree planting with crop production, farmers can diversify their income, improve soil health, and foster more sustainable agricultural practices that benefit both the environment and local communities.
