Agroforestry purposely combines agriculture and forestry to create

integrated and sustainable land-use plan/systems. It takes advantage of the

interactive benefits from combining trees and shrubs with crops and/or
livestock.
This will help restore the areas hydrology, maintain soil fertility, and
mitigate the negative effects of climate change.
In terms of the global consequences of climate change, Agriculture is more
complicated than energy. Local water shortages will cause persistent
irritation wars, famines, and soil erosion is the biggest threat of all.
This is designed to provide maximum benefits for both landowners and
ecosystem. The environmental and ecological benefits of this kind of ground
restoration are most possible. The approach improves the infiltration of
rainwater, extends habitat, and increases biological diversity of the
watershed, among other benefits. Also, the forests break up the ground,
allowing better management of the land.
GOAL
1. To restore the watersheds hydrology and give a boost to sustainable,
local food systems
OBJECTIVES
1. Developing a model that will be exported to other grounds
2. To put into an action for improving the land that is
a. Widely accessible, and
b. Motivates landowners to utilize sustainable practices.
This represents a concept of integrated land use that combines elements of
agriculture and forestry in a sustainable production system. The emphasis
here is on managing rather than reducing complexity. Agroforestry uses the
natural woodland ecosystem as a model to create a dynamic, ecologicallybased, natural resources management system. Key characteristics that

distinguish agroforestry systems from agriculture and forestry include

greater structural and functional complexity, an emphasis on multipurpose
trees, and the production of multiple outputs balanced with protection of the
resource base.
Agroforestry can contribute to achieving the Goals of combating hunger,
poverty, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation, and discrimination
against women:

Eliminate shortage using agroforestry methods of soil fertility and land

regeneration.
Reduce poverty using market-driven, local tree cultivation systems to

generate income and build assets.

Advance the health and nutrition of the rural poor.
Conserve
biodiversity
using
agroforestry-based

conservation-development solutions.
Protect watershed services and enable the poor to be rewarded for

providing these services.

Help the rural poor to adapt to climate change and benefit from
emerging carbon markets.
