The possible integration of crops and livestock together with trees on the same plot of land is definitely one of the important characteristics of agroforestry, which has convinced so many farmers into the adoption of agroforestry. With agroforestry, you can easily combine the cultivation of trees with the rearing of animals and planting crops. This possible integration has actually led to an increase in the farm produce, as well as the increase in what farmers are getting as income.

Agroforestry offers you the opportunity to get more income from the sale of farm produces either from the animal component of the system or the plant component. Agroforestry practice has grown so much that there are different ways through which it can be practiced. The fact that farmers can easily access this knowledge or information about agroforestry practices is the reason why the adoption of agroforestry is increasing on a daily basis.

Agroforestry refers to the agricultural approach of using the interactive benefits from combining trees and shrubs with crops and/or livestock. Agroforestry has been a challenge to many small scale farmers as they find it very difficult to adopt agroforestry practice because they had local farm tools that requires much labor if agroforestry is to be adopted. However, the ever-growing technology has helped many farmers combat challenges related to agroforestry and enable them to adopt agroforestry.

The provision of high-level education to local farmers has also convinced many farmers to adopt agroforestry. Education has exposed them to better understand the importance of agroforestry. Agroforestry has so much importance. It helps improve soil quality, prevent deforestation, boost the economy and aid soil conservation.
