Silvopastoral System

StarStarStarStar

Integration of trees with pasture and livestock grazing, which can reduce soil erosion, enhance animal welfare, and improve biodiversity. Provides a stable microclimate for animals, while diversifying income through timber and livestock products.

StarStarStarStar

Alley Cropping

StarStarStarStar

Planting rows of trees or shrubs at wide spacings with a crop grown in the alleyways between. It can reduce soil erosion, provide timber and non-timber forest products, and create a conducive microclimate for the crops.

StarStarStarStar

Forest Farming

StarStarStarStar

Cultivating high-value specialty crops under the protection of a managed forest canopy that has been modified to provide the correct shade, humidity, and soil conditions. It promotes biodiversity, and can maximize land use while providing additional income from different products.

StarStarStarStar

Windbreaks or Shelterbelts

StarStarStarStar

Rows of trees or shrubs that protect crops from wind damage, reduce wind erosion, and can provide habitat for wildlife. They can also serve as a source of timber, nuts, or fruit and increase crop yields by mitigating the impact of harsh winds.

StarStarStarStar

Riparian Buffers

StarStarStarStar

Vegetated areas near streams or rivers that help in stabilizing banks, filtering pollutants, and providing wildlife habitat. These systems support aquatic ecosystems and can be used to harvest timber, fruits, and nuts.

StarStarStarStar

Multi-Strata Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

A system with multiple layers of trees and crops, designed to mimic natural forest structures. It encourages a biodiverse ecosystem and may provide a variety of products such as fruit, nuts, spices, and timber, while improving soil fertility.
