Agroforestry: A solution to increase soil fertility and reduce erosion π³ππΎππ΄
It is a production system that integrates trees into crops, livestock, or both. Trees will bring numerous benefits to producers in terms of food security and the supply of fuel, building materials, and fodder. π°
On an environmental level, the biomass trees produce will enrich the soil, and the canopy and roots will limit erosive weather effects, regulate soil temperature, preserve water, and support underground life. The roots will enable the uptake of a large quantity of nutrients from the depths and make them available to crops. πͺ±
This synthesis outlines the different implementation steps of agroforestry: which species to plant? What equipment is needed? How to organize the plot? Maintenance? Challenges?π
