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: -The farm-grown fodder increases milk production and can substitute for relatively expensive purchased dairy meal, thus increasing farmers’ income. Fodder shrubs also conserve the soil, supply fuelwood and provide bee forage for honey production.
Detailed explanation-3: -In particular, agroforestry is crucial to smallholder farmers and other rural people because it can enhance their food supply, income and health.Agroforestry systems are multifunctional systems that can provide a wide range of economic, sociocultural, and environmental benefits.
