Agroforestry benefits which make it the most suitable food system for ensuring the right to food for all:

1. Diversified and nutritional diet, from fruits and vegetables, nuts and palms, mushrooms, fodder and forage, and animal source foods (rabbits, fish, insects).

2. Increasing income by higher production of agroforestry products and crops for home consumption and market.

3. Increased availability of sustainably sourced firewood on farms, decreasing deforestation and burden on women and children to collect firewood.

4. Livelihood safety nets against climate change impacts from diversified crops and income to provide food in times of seasonal scarcity.

5. Increasing buffering capacity of farms against the effects of climate change through the protection trees provide to crops during times of heavy wind, flooding, and water scarcity.

6. Increased accessibility to medicinal trees for disease treatment.

7. Better functioning ecosystem services providing soil formation, clean air, erosion control, nutrient cycling, and pest regulation.
