AGROFORESTRY
Agroforestry is a collective name for land-use systems and technologies where
woody perennials (trees, shrubs, palms, bamboos, etc.) are deliberately used
on the same land-management units as agricultural crops and/or animals, in
some form of spatial arrangement or temporal sequence. In agroforestry systems
there are both ecological and economical interactions between the different
components. Agroforestry can also be defined as a dynamic, ecologically based,
natural resource management system that, through the integration of trees on
farms and in the agricultural landscape, diversifies and sustains production
for increased social, economic and environmental benefits for land users at all
levels. In particular, agroforestry is crucial to smallholder farmers and other
rural people because it can enhance their food supply, income and health.
Agroforestry systems are multifunctional systems that can provide a wide range
of economic, sociocultural, and environmental benefits.
There are three main types of agroforestry systems:
•Agrisilvicultural systems are a combination of crops
and trees, such as alley cropping or homegardens.
•Silvopastoral systems combine forestry and grazing
of domesticated animals on pastures, rangelands or
on-farm.
•The three elements, namely trees, animals and crops,
can be integrated in what are called agrosylvopastoral
systems and are illustrated by homegardens involving
animals as well as scattered trees on croplands used
for grazing after harvests.

AGROFORESTRY
PRACTICES
Agroforestry is the intentional combination of agriculture and forestry
to create productive and sustainable land use practices. These practices
take advantage of the interactive benefits from growing trees and shrubs
together with crops and/or livestock.
Agroforestry has its roots in tropical food production systems. In regions
with more temperate climates, agroforestry is separated into five distinct
but related practices. The five practices are windbreaks, riparian forest
buffers, alley cropping, silvopasture and forest farming.
