Inclusion of Agroforestry on Agricultural Farming Systems: Revisited Download PDF
Petros Chavula

Abstract:
Due to degraded arable land and poor land management in most outskirts of Sub-Sahara Africa countries experience crop failure, a lack of fodder, and poor agricultural productivity. Deteriorating soil fertility and climate change exacerbate agricultural farmland production to produce sufficient crops and livestock all year round. Food security is insufficient as a result of poor agricultural production, particularly in Sub-Saharan African nations. Intervention strategies must be implemented in order to boost the farming system's productivity. However, the inclusion of the tree species on agricultural land as a whole call for the growing of trees on agricultural farmland. Incorporating agroforestry into farming systems is inexpensive, provides protracted soil fertility, and supplies livestock with fodder. According to earlier research, agroforestry management strategies are required to boost agricultural productivity and output. However, this synthesis also aims to highlight the value of tree components in the implementation of farming systems. Wherefore it is crucial to evaluate the potential of agroforestry and create innovations that are customised to certain circumstances for agriculture. Finally, research on agroforestry systems requires a long-, mid-, and short-term investment approach.
