Trees can improve soil fertility, reduce erosion, and provide shade and shelter for crops and livestock, boosting overall farm productivity. This includes benefit such as water holding capacity and infiltration rate and improved carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling. There's also research to support improved cattle daily weight gain with access to tree shade on hot days.

Agroforestry provides crucial habitats for wildlife, especially in landscapes where natural habitats have been degraded, thereby supporting biodiversity and ecosystem health. When compared to monoculture systems, agroforestry systems can host and support 20-30% more species variety!

From timber and fruits to nuts and essential oils, agroforestry offers multiple income streams, reducing your financial risks. Achieving conservation outcomes such as improving habitat connection and improving creek conditions does not have to come at the loss of farm revenues or profit. Agroforestry systems can be designed and integrated into farm of every scale.

Agroforestry boosts farm and community resilience by diversifying production, enhancing soil health, regulating microclimates, and helping to manage pests and diseases. The integration of trees with crops and livestock creates a balanced ecosystem that reduces economic risk and can improve environmental resilience. Improved soil structure and organic matter enhance water retention, while trees provide shade and reduce wind speed, protecting crops from extreme weather. Additionally, agroforestry systems sequester carbon and improve water infiltration, mitigating the effects of climate change and ensuring more reliable water availability. These combined benefits make agroforestry a robust strategy for creating resilient agricultural systems.
