Agroforestry is estimated to be found on more than 43% of all agricultural land globally, where 30% of rural populations live. Find out more about FAO’s work on agroforestry 👉 https://bit.ly/3VVcKdj
Agroforestry plays a vital role in sustainable agriculture, covering over 43% of global agricultural land and supporting 30% of rural populations. This practice enhances biodiversity, boosts productivity, and strengthens rural communities. Discover how FAO is advancing agroforestry for a resilient future! https://bit.ly/3VVcKdj #Agroforestry #SustainableAgriculture
As I was walking in the countryside yesterday and noticed tons of oak leaves on the ground. Fairly normal in Autumn in the UK, but it made me think of the tradition in Brittany, in France, of having small fields and whether these were small on purpose, to allow more leaves to fall and regenerate the soil. Many of the trees were cut down in the 80s to be more productive.
I agree! the trees are deliberately planted on farmlands in a desired pattern and/or deliberately maintained on these farm lands (case of farmer managed natural regeneration).
FAO should publish a rating and ranking of all agroforestry tree species of the world, on the basis of their economic value and ecological values. This inventory is important for mitigating climate change, biodiversity loss and increasing income of the farmers.
The importance of the agriculture statistics!
FAO This is actually the best farming practices I would advise every potential farmer to dive into and the best advantage is that farmsell is also available to curb this by bringing markets closer.

Agroforestry helps to build and improve micro climates, soil micro nutrients, pollination and hydrological cycle.

1moAgroforestry isn’t just a farming method—it’s a lifeline for our planet and rural communities alike. 🌍 With 43% of agricultural land supporting agroforestry, this practice is proving that resilience and sustainability can thrive hand in hand. FAO’s commitment to empowering rural populations through agroforestry is not just transforming landscapes but also lives, supporting biodiversity, and enriching soil for future generations.
