Agroforestry help conserve the soil and improve soil quality: it prevents and control soil erosion by wind. Field shelterbelts consist of tall, long tress that do not compete with nearby crops and do not occupy much land.
Increase crop yield: research has shown that crop yields in fields that have adjacent shelterbelts have increased. This is due to better moisture and snow control technique, which help control climatic effects that lessen damage to crops.
It helps save energy: shelterbelts reduce the amount of heat loss in winter; this means less amount of energy is required to heat confinement buildings.
It help sustain biodiversity, it helps with snow control, it is helpful in sequestration of greenhouse gases, it also provides protect and feeding for livestock in winter.
