Abstract
Agroforestry, the integration of trees and shrubs into agricultural landscapes, offers multiple benefits for ecosystem health, agricultural productivity, and human well-being. This paper examines the ecological functions and ecosystem services provided by agroforestry systems, including soil conservation, biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, and water regulation. It discusses different agroforestry practices, such as alley cropping, windbreaks, and silvopastoral systems, emphasizing their potential to enhance resilience and sustainability in diverse agroecological settings.
