In a country where soil degradation and loss of organic matter threaten agricultural productivity and long-term viability, evidence is mounting that agroforestry systems (SAFs) and integrated production models combining forest, crops and/or livestock can represent a true paradigm shift. Recent — and robust — studies show that these systems don’t just diversify production: they help regenerate soil health, restore fertility, and increase the capacity to store atmospheric carbo
