Agriculture, livestock production, and forestry can be practiced in rotation, simultaneously, or spatially on the same piece of land. Agroforestry aims to ensure ecological stability and to maximize benefits to the user of the land. Agroforestry can be agrosilviculture (where agricultural crops and forest products are grown simultaneously or sequentially), silvipasture (in which forest products and livestock are grown), and agrosilvipasture (where food is grown for humans, domestic livestock graze, and woody vegetation provides wood products for humans and fodder for animals). 3, record 4, English, - agrosilviculture
