Q: 1. What types of agroforestry systems does this course cover, and why do they matter?

Introduces several key systems such as alley cropping , silvopasture , forest farming , windbreaks , and riparian buffers . Highlights how alley cropping integrates trees in rows to enhance soil fertility and reduce erosion. Teaches silvopasture , combining trees with livestock grazing to support biodiversity, animal welfare, and forage productivity. Explores forest farming —growing high-value understory crops like medicinal plants within forest canopies. Explains windbreak systems , which protect crops from wind damage and improve microclimates.
