A sustainable integrated agroforestry system
These findings demonstrate the ecological and agronomic advantages of agroforestry as a scalable alternative to monoculture. By mimicking natural forests, our system shows how biodiversity-driven complexity enhances resilience, reduces dependence on external inputs, and provides climate adaptation and mitigation benefits. Integrated agroforestry offers a vital pathway to achieve the 2030 biodiversity targets of the CBD COP-15 and aligns agriculture with the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
