Basics of Agroforestry 

here in the Brazilian semiarid I do agroforestry and it is very satisfying to see the trees grow

In a small farm like mine, the best are chickens. They eat the bugs that can harm fruit trees, they clean most of the weeds and they fertilize.

Most permaculture designers have the knowledge to establish them after completing their apprenticeship. The great thing about the permaculture community is designers freely share knowledge and experiences with each other to better ensure success. The trees in these systems can be fruit and nut trees for edible crops or also include others for nutrient fixing, or trees that produce tannins in their leaves to reduce methane emissions in cattle. The field only limited by the imagination.

Well done. My planting plan is getting so complex. Wish there was an open source App that mixed and matched every plant tree so I can better arrange a 50 acre farm without needless waste of time. The plan. 50% of the crops are for sale and 50% for the animals. 100% of the scraps and fodder for the animals. Add to that a rotational grazing path across the property so that food harvest is a few days ahead of the mob. The mob cleans up the paddocks and regrowth or replanting is done if that's the plan for that paddock. 🤔

its a good video....but why does it have to be NESTLÉ the number ONE waterstealer ? NESTLÉ now trying to play the good guy? Now they pretent to be the enviromental friendly business ...the way busines and money works with human greed is just disgusting-

Agrofloresta está se tornando algo comum no Brasil. Minha família tem uma pequena propriedade rural em Santo Antônio do Descoberto - Goiás - Brasil, com (SAF) com dois anos de implantação. Estamos colhendo frutos. Obrigado Ernst Gotsch.

Fantastic video, a beautiful wealth of knowledge

Beautiful video. Thanks!

I hope Nestle can turn all their palm oil plantations into diverse agroforestry systems.

More power to you guys!!!!

Awesome video.please allow me to post it for my agroforestry mission. I shall mention the VC under that.

Over 50 years ago Bill Mollison said “the more edge the better” this is maximising edge.

Nice information.

Thanx for the lecture it helped me to memorize my exam conceptually ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain

It is good for children to study

Can we just talk about Nestle made this video.?

yes it good

Nestlé!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?😱

bagaimana sistem pengelolaan agroforestry pada hutan tanaman industri agar mendapatkan manfaat serta bagaimana peran anda dalam kegiatan tersebut?

We must plant to safer air

The logo at the ends immediately makes me suspicious.

recall this how to catch e coli over here

Did you stop making videos about agroforestry?

tolong ditranslite ke indonesia. di desa gak pada faham bahasa na.

We really need to stop using the term 'carbon sequestration' when we actually mean _encouraging_ the carbon cycle. Sequestration occurs when atmosphere is lost to us for extended periods of time, and is an ecological disaster: Not something that we want associated with agroforestry at all! To date, the greatest catastrophe of this kind peaked about 20,000 years ago, and triggered what we are now calling the Holocene extinction period. The key actor in this tragedy? Mollusks. The carbonate rock that is formed when a shell fails to be consumed and its carbon and oxygen returned causes a loss of atmospheric pressure, and lowered O2 concentration makes it impossible for large terrestrial species to survive. There is only one creature on Earth that can liberate this atmosphere and return the carbon within it to its proper cycle .. and that animal is the human, and he does it when he makes concrete for his building projects. Yeah .. I'm no shill for the energy companies .. so I won't try to convince you that the carbon from burning fuels is a net positive .. the OXYGEN to sustain that combustion comes from our atmosphere, and we cannot get it back unless the carbon cycle is completed .. and that means more work for US. We do have a use for it, however: we can transform it into soil organic matter, with the help of agroforestry practices. We are constantly losing our soil OM to oxidation, and having a ready supply of atmospheric Carbon Dioxide is a fantastic resource .. provided that we also have sufficient water to power the operation. This is where I put in a plug for Riparian systems, which dovetail nicely with Alleycropping, and rotational silvopasturage. You are going to need the water anyway .. so incorporate it into the design from the start, and it will be more ecosystem and more edge instead of an energy expense.

It doesn't have to include pastorial/lifestock

Rap snitches, tellin all they business...

Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation, habitat destruction, water pollution, ocean dead zones and *species extinction* . -United Nations The most comprehensive *meta-analysis* conducted to date with 119 countries, shows avoiding animal products is the *"SINGLE BIGGEST WAY"* to reduce our environmental impact. -Oxford University
