Agroforestry is the intentional integration of trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems to create environmental, economic, and social benefits. While some practices are modern, others have been practiced for generations, and are especially important to forest-proximate families and communities across the globe. Agroforestry can provide jobs and increase economic well-being in rural communities. Agroforestry reconnects agriculture, people, and communities creating a multi-functional and sustainable landscape.
