1 Agroforestry An overview of different methods Permakultur.se Joel Holmdahl - Rikkenstorp.se - 7.com/rikkenstorp
2 What Is Agroforestry? Agroforestry is a land management approach that inten7onally blends agriculture and forestry to enhance; environmental stewardship, produc7vity, and profitability.
3 What Is Agroforestry? The key concept in agroforestry is working trees pucng the right tree, in the right place, for the right purpose.
4 Agroforestry For a management prac7ce to be called agroforestry, it typically must sa7sfy the four "i"s: Inten7onal, Intensive, Integrated, and Interac7ve.
5 What Is Agroforestry? Agroforestry opens new opportuni7es to create prosperity while providing vital protec7on to natural resources by suppor7ng: sustainable farms, ranches, and woodlands diversified income on farms and ranches clean air and water habitat for wildlife improved soil health safe and healthy food energy conservacon bioenergy produccon increased wealth in rural communices

8 Agroforestry Farming Systems Silvopasture Silvopasture combines trees with livestock and their forages on one piece of land. The trees provide 7mber, fruit, or nuts as well as shade and shelter for livestock and their forages, reducing stress on the animals from the hot summer sun, cold winter winds, or a downpour.

16 Agroforestry Farming Systems Silvopasture Benefits from silvopastural systems include; increase wildlife provide shade and shelter for stock absorb minerals leaching below the grass root layer allow farming to concnue on the same land base improve the appearance of the farm storage of carbon
17 Agroforestry Farming Systems Silvopasture Drawbacks from silvopastural systems include; proteccng trees from livestock without compeccon the trunks might be crooked block the view

19 Agroforestry Farming Systems Silvoarable/Alley cropping Silvoarable, or Alley cropping, means plan7ng crops between rows of trees to provide income while the trees mature. The system can be designed to produce fruits, vegetables, grains, flowers, herbs, bioenergy feedstocks, and more. h]p://

41 Forest Gardens A forest garden is a designed agronomic system based on trees, shrubs and perennial plants. These are mixed in such a way as to mimic the structure of a natural forest - the most stable and sustainable type of ecosystem in this climate.
42 Forest Gardens The primary aims for the system are: to be biologically sustainable, able to cope with disturbances such as climate change it should be produccve, yielding a number (ouen large) of different products it should require low maintenance.

48 Forest Gardens The key features which contribute to the stability and self- sustaining nature of this system are: the large number of species used, giving great diversity the careful inclusion of plants which increase ferclity the use of dynamic accumulators the use of plants specially chosen for their ability to axract predators of common pests, the use, where possible, of pest and disease resistant varieces, eg. apples. the increasing role of tree cover and leaf lixer which improve nutrient cycling and drought resistance.

53 Forest Gardens Drawbacks from forest farming systems include; PlanCng out and establishment usually requires large numbers of plants and substancal work Diverse harvest over long Cme hard to develop as an economic accvity.
54 Linear Agroforestry Prac7ces Windbreaks Windbreaks shelter crops, animals, buildings, and soil from wind, snow, dust, and odors. These areas can also support wildlife and provide another source of income. They are also called shelterbelts, hedgerows, or living snow fences.
55 Linear Agroforestry Prac7ces Riparian Forest Buffers Riparian forest buffers are natural or re- stablished areas along rivers and streams made up of trees, shrubs, and grasses. These buffers can help filter farm runoff while the roots stabilize the banks of streams, rivers, lakes and ponds to prevent erosion. These areas can also support wildlife and provide another source of income.
