By combining forestry with agriculture, agroforestry systems optimize the use of land while improving soil health, conserving water, and sequestering carbon. This multifaceted strategy provides farmers with diverse income sources and helps guard agricultural communities against the impacts of climate change, like extreme weather events and fluctuating crop yields. As the world seeks solutions to combat climate change and ensure food security, agroforestry offers a viable pathway toward a more sustainable, climate-resilient agricultural future. Further research may reveal the potential of agroforestry to contribute to both environmental conservation and the long-term well-being of farming communities. Agroforestry for a Climate-Smart Future explores agroforestry's potential to revolutionize our approach to food production and environmental stewardship. It delves into the intricate ways in which agroforestry systems integrate trees and shrubs with crops and livestock, creating diverse, productive, and sustainable land-use systems. This book covers topics such as climatology, smart agriculture, and soil health, and is a useful resource for agriculturalists, climatologists, environmental scientists, academicians, and researchers.
