Abstract: Agroforestry is a traditional land use system that may contribute to the solution of environmental problems in agriculture. Agroforestry is the practice of deliberately integrating woody vegetation (trees or shrubs) with crops and/or animal systems to benefit from the resulting ecological and economic interactions. Recent research indicates that a wider adoption of agroforestry principles and practices is a key means by which the global agri-food sector might achieve more sustainable methods of food and fiber … Show more

“…Our seed removal experiment was performed in three different habitat types separated by a minimum distance of approximately 700 m: i.e., conventional farmland, parkland and woodland (Table 1). Ideally, conventional farmlands should contrast parklands as the latter seeks to promote ecological balance and the conservation of biodiversity by avoiding or limiting the use of agrochemicals as well as intensive tillage among other practices (Boffa 1999;Pantera et al 2021; Sumberg and Giller 2022). However, in the study area, agrochemicals and other resources are usually applied similarly in both agriculture systems with the only notable difference being the presence or absence of woody plants.…”

“…These changes impact people's relationships among each other and with their environment, as well as value chains and human and environmental health (Hermann et al, 2009;Benítez et al, 2020). While such changes occur gradually, over time they have led to deforestation as well as loss of biodiversity, food sovereignty, food security, and ecosystem services López Cruz et al, 2021;Pantera et al, 2021). Furthermore, they are associated with increased social, economic, and political dependence on other external sectors (Giraldo, 2018).…”

“…[10]. In addition, agroforestry systems can increase carbon sequestration so as to mitigate climate change [11,12]. Soybean has the potential to be cultivated in agroforestry systems because it is one of the leguminosae family, so it can contribute to the nutrient cycle and increase soil fertility through nitrogen fixation [13].…”
