Push-Pull Technology

StarStarStarStar

This pest management strategy integrates crops that 'push' pests away from the main crop and others that 'pull' pests towards a trap crop, reducing the need for chemical control.

StarStarStarStar

Multi-Strata Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

This complex system simulates a forest structure by incorporating different layers of plants, from ground cover to canopy trees, promoting a high level of biodiversity.

StarStarStarStar

Living Fences

StarStarStarStar

Trees or shrubs are planted in lines to form boundaries or barriers for livestock, simultaneously providing wood, fodder, and promoting wildlife corridors.

StarStarStarStar

Forest Gardening

StarStarStarStar

Designed to imitate young natural woodland, forest gardens involve multiple layers of trees and plants that yield food, fuel, fiber, and other products.

StarStarStarStar

Tree Intercropping

StarStarStarStar

Trees are incorporated into crop fields to add diversity, enhance wildlife habitats, and provide benefits such as nitrogen fixing to the soil.

StarStarStarStar

Urban Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

Bringing agroforestry practices into the urban context, which can contribute to urban greening, food security, and improving the urban environment.

StarStarStarStar

Alley Cropping

StarStarStarStar

In this agroforestry practice, crops are planted between rows of trees, which provide shade, reduce erosion, and enhance biodiversity.

StarStarStarStar

Biological Corridors

StarStarStarStar

Agroforestry practices are used to create strips of vegetation that connect isolated patches of habitat, promoting biodiversity and allowing wildlife to migrate.

StarStarStarStar

Agrosilvopastoral Systems

StarStarStarStar

This integrated approach combines trees, crops, and livestock all in one system, optimizing land use and creating a more resilient farming system.

StarStarStarStar

Shelterwood Cutting

StarStarStarStar

A forestry technique that gradually removes trees in phases to promote the growth of a new generation of seedlings under the protection of older trees.

StarStarStarStar

Fuelwood Production

StarStarStarStar

Trees are specifically grown for use as fuel, which can help reduce the pressure on natural forests and provide an energy source for local communities.

StarStarStarStar

Silvopasture

StarStarStarStar

Combining forestry with pasture allows for the simultaneous cultivation of trees and livestock grazing, promoting soil conservation and diversification of income.

StarStarStarStar

Riparian Buffers

StarStarStarStar

Strategically planted trees and shrubs along the edges of waterways help protect them from runoff, improve water quality, and support aquatic ecosystems.

StarStarStarStar

Apiculture with Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

Integrating beekeeping with agroforestry provides pollination benefits to crops and a habitat for bees, while producing honey and related products.

StarStarStarStar

Conservation Tillage

StarStarStarStar

This practice involves minimal soil disturbance and retention of crop residue, reducing erosion and improving water retention in agroforestry systems.

StarStarStarStar

Windbreaks

StarStarStarStar

Rows of trees or shrubs are planted to protect crops from the wind, which can minimize soil erosion and create a microclimate beneficial for crops.

StarStarStarStar

Silvoarable Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

Trees are grown alongside crops on the same land, leading to mutual benefits such as enhanced biodiversity and improved microclimate for the crops.

StarStarStarStar

Forest Farming

StarStarStarStar

Understory crops such as medicinal herbs, mushrooms, or ornamentals are cultivated beneath a forest canopy that has been modified to provide the correct shade levels.

StarStarStarStar

Aquasilviculture

StarStarStarStar

Combines the cultivation of trees with aquaculture, providing benefits to both as the trees can filter water and fish waste can fertilize trees.

StarStarStarStar

Homegardens

StarStarStarStar

This practice consists of growing a mix of edible and medicinal plants near a residence, serving as a source of food and income while supporting biodiversity.
