Agroforestry Combines agriculture and forestry technologies to create more integrated, diverse, productive, profitable, healthy and sustainable land-use systems National Agroforestry Center

Agroforestry A collective name for land use systems and practices in which woody perennials are deliberately integrated with crops and/or animals on the same land management unit. The integration can be either in a spatial mixture or in a temporal sequence. There are normally both ecological and economic interactions between woody and non-woody components in agroforestry. World Agroforestry Centre

Agroforestry Trees and/or shrubs are intentionally used within agricultural systems Knowledge, careful selection of species, and proper management of trees/shrubs and crops are needed Maximize production Reduce competition among species Maximize environmental benefits Integrated land-use Polycultures

Agroforestry Benefits Diversifies agroecosystems Increased and stabilized income Carbon sequestration Wildlife

Agroforestry Further diversify by having different areas with different mixtures or same mixtures in different stages of development

Agroforestry Farm forestry = monoculture

Agroforestry Not just 2 crops/strata Parkland in Burkina Faso: Sorghum grown under Faidherbia albida and Borassus akeassii

Agroforestry Spatial mixture vs. Temporal sequence
