Intensive agroforestry system
Intensive agroforestry system is a protective and productive high-input agroforestry system comprising multi-purpose ditches with bunds, live barriers of grass, contour ridging, annual crops and fruit trees. The main purpose is to increase and diversify production, and at the same time, to protect natural resources and regenerate degraded areas, avoiding traditional slash and burning practices.
