System that combines forestry and agriculture. It includes the joint, simultaneous or sequential use of trees and crops aimed at restoring the landscape, obtaining greater productivity, better economic performance and more social benefits in an ecologically sustainable way. It also improves the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the soil, contributes to increasing its fertility, controls erosion and improves the availability of water.
Unlike purely forest systems, agroforestry systems aim to implement management guidelines that allow for higher-value products and larger-diameter trees, which is a characteristic that gives them higher quality.
