Agroforestry

1. System and implementation (practical level):-

Develop guidelines for the introduction of agroforestry at farm level (technical solutions, planting schemes, integration with livestock).

- Implement agroforestry systems on selected farms

- Develop adapted agroforestry models for different soil, climate and farm types.

- Develop recommendations for tree and crop combinations according to ecological zones.

2. Environmental and climate benefits:

- Assess the carbon storage potential of tree biomass and soils.

- Monitor changes in biodiversity in agroforestry plots.

- Analyse the impact of agroforestry on soil quality and water management.

3. Economic-social impacts:

- Study the economic efficiency of agroforestry (productivity, profitability, cost structure).

- To assess farmers' attitudes towards agroforestry, their knowledge and willingness to adopt the system.

- Develop the involvement of local communities and social benefits through agroforestry activities.

4. Innovation and technology:

- Apply digital tools for agroforestry planning (e.g. GIS, modelling applications).

- Analyse the effectiveness of new species and varieties suitable for integration into systems.
