Doesn Agroforestry belong in the forest, not on good agricultural land?
Most Agroforestry practices can be successfully introduced into either cleared agricultural land or existing woodland. One of the primary reasons for interest in agroforestry is for diversification – new crops or new ways of growing old crops. Well-designed and managed Agroforestry Practices should be more environmentally sound and at the same time increase short and long-term farm profitability. Maximum environmental benefit from agroforestry plantings is achieved in agricultural areas where all the trees have been removed.
