The photo shows a simple traditional Agroforest-System, a Orchard meadow with broadspaced fruit trees  - in this case a Silvopastoral-System. In general Agroforestry could be described as a land use which combines agriculture and tree growing, to produce both commercial agricultural products and tree products. There are two main forms: timberbelts and broadspaced. The used species depends on the local conditions: soil, climate, the wanted plants and tree species respectively live stock. In the best case endemic species are used. Agroforest-Systems can provide for example: salinity and water table control, soil erosion control, shelter and shade, fodder, timber and other tree products, wildlife habitat, nutrient recycling and natural carbon capture and storage options, increased yields, etc. The possibilities of this land use systems are enormously and endless. That could be the reason why more and more countries around the globe are using them. For further information and facts please visit - for instance - the following sites:
