Agroforestry
Systems
Agroforestry
systems are forms of land use or management
in which tree species (fruit and/or timber)
are combined with agricultural crops and/or
animal husbandry, simultaneously or in a
time sequence, yielding financial and
ecological benefits. Agroforestry systems
show that it is possible to associate the
production of food and raw materials with
the conservation of soil, water and
biodiversity, besides helping reduce climate
change. This type of system is a great
option for recovering areas, as it
accelerates ecosystem changes in comparison
with natural succession.
