Each year in this publication, we look ata particular aspect of agroforestry. Last year it was the various kinds of agroforestry systems, both sequential and simultaneous. Such systems provide a variety of services-protecting soils from erosion, recycling nutrients in the soil, improving microclimates for crops, marking boundaries and providing windbreaks, increasing diversity of farm production and even helping reshape steep slopes into cultivable terraces. Agroforestry products consist of food crops, livestock and tree products. This year we look closely at some of the products trees supply.
