Alley cropping systems: key objectives

In an alley cropping system, trees are multifunctional: the aim is to provide a range of ecosystem services alongside wood and fruits. These include shelter for crops, host beneficial organisms, increase soil fertility and carbon storage, mitigate climate change, and provide protection against soil erosion.

Agroforestry on municipally owned sites - example Donzdorf (Germany)

Between 2007 and 2010 the city established five agroforestry plots with trees for valuable timber production on city-owned land, sized 0,15 to 0,75 ha. The city decided for valuable timber trees, among other reasons because it couldn’t guarantee the maintenance of traditional orchard trees on the selected plots in the long-term.
