FAO – Agroforesterie. WIKIPEDIA – Agroforestry. Land use management system Agroforestry is a land use management system in which trees or shrubs are grown around or among crops or pastureland.
This intentional combination of agriculture and forestry has varied benefits, including increased biodiversity and reduced erosion.[1] Agroforestry practices have been successful in sub-Saharan Africa[2] and in parts of the United States.[3][4] Agroforestry shares principles with intercropping. Both may place two or more plant species (such as nitrogen-fixing plants) in proximity.
