Agroforestry stands out for its ability to detoxify contaminants in soil, water, and plants, thereby providing high quality and affordable food and feed. The topics in this book include the cultivation of plant-based food and feed sources within the spaces between trees, known as alley crops, and the integration of fruit trees, which diversify nutritional sources. Agroforestry not only enhances food security but also bolsters livelihood security by adding value to agroforestry products, from farming plots to the final food products, and through associated animal husbandry and fishery practices. The rapid growth of trees in agroforestry systems offers lucrative opportunities, such as timber production, which alleviates pressure on natural forests and aids in forest conservation and climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. The book highlights how agroforestry aligns with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The book will be a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields related to soil, water, sustainable agriculture, and natural resource conservation. Additionally, it offers practical insights for farmers and practitioners aiming to sustain food production and promote healthy livelihoods through hands on practice of real farm-based numerical problems and solutions within the context of climate change, with agroforestry as a nature-based solution for improved soil and water conservation on every farm. 606 $aForests and forestry 606 $aBioclimatology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aEcology 606 $aForestry 606 $aClimate Change Ecology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 615 0$aForests and forestry. 615 0$aBioclimatology. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aEcology. 615 14$aForestry. 615 24$aClimate Change Ecology. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 676 $a634.9 676 $a577.3 700 $aPanda$b Subhabrata$01263953 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911011646403321 996 $aAgroforestry$94400213 997 $aUNINA
