3rd Edition of Agriculture, Forestry, and Horticulture World Conference 2027
Scientific Sessions - AFHWC 2027
Agroforestry and Sustainable Land Use
Agroforestry is a land-use system in which trees or shrubs are deliberately grown together with crops, livestock or both on the same piece of land. Common forms include alley cropping, where crops grow between rows of trees; silvopasture, which combines trees with grazing animals; home gardens; boundary plantings and windbreaks; and multi-strata systems such as coffee or cocoa grown under shade trees. Trees on farms improve soil fertility, reduce erosion, provide shade and shelter, store carbon and supply products such as fruit, fodder, timber, fuelwood and medicines. Sustainable land use more broadly means managing land so that it meets present needs for food, fibre and income without degrading it for future generations.
What You Will Learn
- Design and management of productive agroforestry systems
- How trees on farms contribute to carbon storage and soil health
