Agroforestry integrates trees into farming systems, creating a harmonious blend of agriculture and forestry that enhances sustainability. Trees improve soil health, boost crop yields, and support water retention while providing natural pest control and combating climate change through carbon sequestration. Diverse systems like alley cropping, silvopasture, and riparian buffers showcase its adaptability. Real-life success stories from Ghana to Colombia highlight its global impact. Despite challenges like high initial investments and policy gaps, innovative solutions and research are driving adoption. Agroforestry offers economic stability, environmental resilience, and biodiversity conservation, transforming agriculture into a sustainable practice for a greener future.
