Agroforestry Systems

Agroforestry systems (SAF) can take various forms and combinations of species and strategies of cultivation of the species of interest, but in general is a form of land use that combines cultivation of woodland species with temporary and perennial agricultural crops along with animals. This management seeks to increase the yield of a territory space that has been cultivated by producing agricultural crops with forest crops along with animal species, with benefits that include enriching depleted systems, absorbing carbon, recovering degraded land, and bringing cultural and economic benefits to native communities. Over time, as an agroforestry system evolves, it changes its structure as these are long-term installation systems.
