Question

What are the roles of agroforestry in maintaining the productivity of landscapes and sustainable land use ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Over the past four decades, a solid body of research has revealed the potential of agroforestry for increasing or maintaining system productivity while protecting natural resources and providing environmental services, including pollination, pest control/prevention, carbon sequestration, and the conservation of soil health, water quality, and biodiversity. Thus, agroforestry is well suited as a central tool for “sustainable intensification” within a land use paradigm that should be based, in alignment with a recent call by FAO, much more on biology and agroecology, rather than on chemistry and fossil fuels.
