Detailed explanation-1: -Agroforestry provides a number of environmental benefits as confirmed by scientific literature. The four major environmental benefits of agroforestry are (1) climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration, (2) biodiversity conservation, (3) soil health enrichment, and (4) air and water quality improvement.
Detailed explanation-2: -Greater efficiency of tree species for photosynthesis. Improved soil structure and fertility with increasing effects on crop yield. Reduce losses from soil erosion and more closed cycling of organic matter and nutrients. Creating better micro climatic conditions for the growth of agricultural crops.
Detailed explanation-3: -agroforestry, cultivation and use of trees and shrubs with crops and livestock in agricultural systems. Agroforestry seeks positive interactions between its components, aiming to achieve a more ecologically diverse and socially productive output from the land than is possible through conventional agriculture.
