Agroforestry Plantation

 

Agroforestry involves the commercial integration of agricultural practices and tree development on a farm or plantation.

The growing of trees and plants occurs concurrently in the same pastureland. 

An instance of agroforestry is the planting of trees on a maize plantation.

Another example is the planting of crops in forest environments sustainably.

Agroforestry is economical and beneficial in three main ways:

1. It enables the farmer to benefit from commercial tree use like access to timber.
2. It facilitates the diverse production and supply of nutritious food items like grains, vegetables, and fruits.
3. It achieves sustainable environmental protection as the tree and food resources benefit the present and future generations.

Agroforestry can also incorporate the rearing of domestic and wild animals.

It encourages the continuous development of indigenous tree and plant species.
