Windbreaks

StarStarStarStar

Rows of trees or shrubs planted to protect crops from wind erosion and damage, which can also serve as habitat for beneficial insects and wildlife.

StarStarStarStar

Shade-Grown Agriculture

StarStarStarStar

Growing crops such as coffee or cocoa under the canopy of larger trees, which reduces the need for chemical inputs and improves habitat for wildlife.

StarStarStarStar

Living Fences

StarStarStarStar

Use of live trees and shrubs to form boundary markers or barriers for livestock, which can also provide other ecosystem services like habitat for wildlife.

StarStarStarStar

Multi-Strata Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

A complex form of agroforestry with plants of different heights and rooting depths, maximizing space and creating a diverse ecosystem similar to natural forests.

StarStarStarStar

Agrosilviculture

StarStarStarStar

Combining crops with tree farming, where trees are planted in strategic patterns to benefit soil health and crop yields.

StarStarStarStar

Agroforestry Parklands

StarStarStarStar

Extensive agroforestry systems in semi-arid areas where trees and crops are integrated, often with trees inherited through generations and cared for by local communities.

StarStarStarStar

Alley Cropping

StarStarStarStar

A system where crops are planted in alleys between rows of trees or shrubs, which can provide shade, wind protection, and nutrient inputs through leaf litter.

StarStarStarStar

Forest Farming

StarStarStarStar

Cultivating shade-tolerant crops under the canopy of an existing forest, which diversifies income and can extend the productive life of the forest.

StarStarStarStar

Homegardens

StarStarStarStar

A small-scale agroforestry system that integrates trees and shrubs with crops and possibly livestock around residential areas, mimicking a natural ecosystem.

StarStarStarStar

Silvopasture

StarStarStarStar

The practice of integrating trees, pasture, and livestock grazing in a mutually beneficial system, improving biodiversity and reducing the need for chemical inputs.

StarStarStarStar

Riparian Buffers

StarStarStarStar

Vegetated areas next to water bodies designed to intercept pollutants and manage water runoff, enhancing water quality and providing wildlife habitat.

StarStarStarStar

Food Forests

StarStarStarStar

An agroforestry practice that involves creating multi-layered, sustainable, and self-maintaining ecosystems focused on perennial and self-propagating plants.
