This document discusses options for integrating trees on farms in Malawi and Southern Africa. It outlines how trees can improve soil fertility, provide food, fodder, and fiber, as well as ecosystem services. Specific tree integration options presented include fertilizer trees intercropped with maize, improved fallows, and fodder trees. Data shows that these agroforestry systems can increase maize yields compared to conventional systems and improve resilience during drought. However, tree integration on farms remains low due to challenges such as labor constraints, animal damage, and lack of supportive policies.
