Agroforestry systems provide numerous ecological and environmental advantages. They protect crops, livestock, soil and watercourses, stimulate biodiversity, contribute to carbon sequestration and even mitigate the effects of climate change. In terms of social and economic benefits, these systems create jobs, improve public opinion and perceptions of agriculture and forestry, and enhance the landscape. In addition, agroforestry systems generate additional farm revenues over and above producers' traditional farm revenues – a good way for producers to diversify their economic activities!
