agroforestry and silvopasture
Agroforestry is a land management system that combines agriculture and forestry practices, where trees and crops are grown together in a deliberate arrangement. It promotes the sustainable use of land by providing multiple benefits, such as increased crop productivity, improved soil health, enhanced biodiversity, and climate change mitigation. Silvopasture, on the other hand, is a specific type of agroforestry that integrates trees, livestock, and forage crops. It involves managing pastures or range lands with the inclusion of trees or shrubs, creating a mutually beneficial system. Silvopasture provides benefits like shade for livestock, enhanced forage production, improved soil quality, diversification of income sources, and carbon sequestration.
