Agroforestry and Trees in the Rural Landscape

Agroforestry is a land use management system in which trees or shrubs are grown around or among crops or pastureland. It combines shrubs and trees in agricultural and forestry technologies to create more diverse, productive, profitable, healthy, ecologically sound, and sustainable land-use systems. Agroforestry has proven to be positively affecting several ecosystem services in sub-Saharan Africa.

A landscape is the visible features of an area of land, its landforms and how they integrate with natural or man-made features.
