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.

COMPANION PLANTING#7

Planting different crops in proximity for mutual benefit, enhancing growth and pest resistance.

AGROBIODIVERSITY#8

The variety of species used in agriculture, including crops, livestock, and beneficial organisms.
