Role of Agroforestry and ZBNF in ensuring Sustainable Agriculture
Agroforestry integrates trees and shrubs into agricultural landscapes, combining agriculture and forestry practices for sustainable land use whereas Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) is a holistic farming practice that minimizes external inputs by utilizing natural resources and indigenous knowledge.
Role of Agroforestry in ensuring Sustainable Agriculture
- Soil Health Improvement: Trees and shrubs enhance soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, organic matter addition, and reduced soil erosion.
- Biodiversity Conservation: Agroforestry systems support diverse plant and animal species, contributing to biodiversity.
- Climate Change Mitigation: Trees sequester carbon, helping mitigate climate change effects.
- Water Management: Tree roots improve water infiltration and reduce runoff, enhancing water conservation.
