Agroforestry

The concept of 'nature-based solutions' has brought together a broad range of actors with seemingly diverse goals. This article, contributing to the forum on climate change and agrarian struggles, argues that these nature-based solutions follow a growing trend to frame the natural world as...

Following the Paris agreement in 2015, the European Union (EU) set a carbon neutrality objective by 2050, and so did France. The French agricultural sector can contribute as a carbon sink through carbon storage in biomass and soil, in addition to reducing GHG emissions. The objective of this study...

At the expense of irreversible biodiversity loss, industrial modern agriculture is expanding in tropical regions. The conversion of forests to large scale monoculture plantations has fragmented and reduced habitat complexity, and altered biotic communities. However, the establishment of...

The aim of this report is to examine the potential contribution of agroforestry to net zero objectives in the United Kingdom over the next 40-50 years, with a focus on 2050. The report comprises six main sections. The first section provides the over-arching context for this study. The second...

As public demand for more sustainable agricultural products increases, and the dangers of the climate and biodiversity crises facing the UK grow, it...

Agroforestry can be used to improve the productivity of staple food crops by improving soil fertility and promoting agroecosystem function. The domestication of agroforestry trees producing marketable products then intensifies the agroforestry system and leads to marketing, trade and business...

This study evaluated the best management practices on how to manage soil losses from catchment and reduce sediment load into a dam reservoir. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of runoff, soil loss, and sediment yield with best management practice (BMP) scenarios in the GeoWEPP...
