Living Windbreaks: A Solution to Protect Your Crops 🌬🌳🌾
Windbreaks are linear structures made up of trees and shrubs, used to protect agricultural areas, homes, and infrastructure from prevailing winds. They reduce wind speed, wind erosion, evapotranspiration, and improve agricultural yields in the protected area. 
Their effectiveness depends on their height, density, and orientation in relation to the winds. They create a favorable microclimate and contribute to carbon sequestration, but they take up space that could be cultivated and may require protection from animals.
