Agroforestry combines suitable trees with crops or livestock where land tenure, spacing, water competition, regulations and the target market support it. Species should be selected for local ecology and farm economics.
Planning considerations
- Confirm local conditions, intended outcome and target user or market.
- Review investment, labour, water, energy, transport and maintenance requirements.
- Verify current regulations, permits, certification and scheme details from official sources.
- Start with small, measurable steps and maintain clear farm/business records.
