AGROFORESTRY#1
A land-use management system that integrates trees and shrubs with crops and livestock to enhance biodiversity and productivity.
BIODIVERSITY#2
The variety of life in a particular habitat, crucial for ecosystem resilience and agricultural sustainability.
ECONOMIC VIABILITY#3
The ability of an agroforestry system to generate sufficient income and profit to sustain itself over time.
SOIL CONSERVATION#4
Practices aimed at preventing soil erosion and degradation, essential for maintaining soil health in agroforestry.
TREE-CROP INTERACTIONS#5
The relationships between trees and crops, which can influence growth, yields, and ecological balance.
AGROECOLOGY#6
An ecological approach to agriculture that considers the complex interactions between plants, animals, and the environment.
