What is Agroforestry? Mixed-use land management system, that combines agriculture and forestry practices in order to create more diverse, productive, profitable, healthy, and sustainable land-use systems. Diverse intercropping of species First harvest can come as early as a few weeks Plant succession: Herbs and spices vegetables fruits hard wood

What is Agroforestry?

Advantages of Agroforestry Water Savings due to less evapotranspiration (greater soil coverage). Require less fertilizers (the plants naturally supply each other with key nutrients). Resembles natural ecosystems, protecting biodiversity and producing natural goods and ecosystem services.

Advantages of Agroforestry Galbert et. al. (2013).

Advantages of Agroforestry Galbert et. al. (2013).

Advantages of Agroforestry Trees can be used for shelter, biofuels and medicinal purposes. It can be easily combined with other sustainable agricultural techniques, e.g. Remineralization, Biochar, Compost, Organics, etc.

How it Works Case Studies: The Tucurui Dam in the Amazon Basin The APACA Community Projet in Bahia, Brazil The Savannah project in Brasilia, Brazil The Costa Rica model (Food, Fuel and Income)

Case Studies- Tucurui Dam

Case Studies- Bahia (Brazil)

Case Studies- Brasilia (Brazil) Two views of a private Agroforestry initiative

Case Studies- Costa Rica

More than 1600 trees were planted Jatropha- Biofuel tree This model can be transferred to other poor countries and yield social and environmental benefits, such as replacing firewood harvesting.
