Agroforestry Service Economics

Agroforestry service economics evaluates the financial and environmental benefits of integrating trees with crops or livestock on agricultural land. This approach enhances farm resilience by providing diverse income streams from timber, fruits, nuts, or non-timber products like honey and medicinal plants. In addition to economic benefits, agroforestry contributes to environmental sustainability by improving soil health, conserving water, and increasing biodiversity. By reducing the risk of crop failure due to climate extremes, agroforestry can be a valuable tool for long-term food security. Its economic potential is further boosted through ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and wildlife habitat, making it an important strategy for farmers and policymakers seeking both profitability and sustainability.
