Agroforestry covers all agricultural practices that combine trees (hedges, rows, copses, etc.) on the same plot of land with an agricultural and/or livestock crop… Properly integrating trees and hedges into agriculture makes it possible to increase production, diversify income and ecological services, and ensure the preservation and renewal of natural resources: water, soil and its fertility, biodiversity… The aim is therefore both economic and environmental.
