Trees can maintain or even enhance the farm’s main agricultural output while improving the resilience of the business and simultaneously helping to protect soils, rivers, biodiversity, and climate.
Systems can be designed to avoid the potential trade-offs that occur in many modern farming systems between food production and public goods, like clean air.
