Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Evergreen agriculture is an alternative to modern, intensive agriculture that exploits the environment. It is a proven way to achieve the increased yields needed to feed a growing population in a way that is sustainable, affordable and does not further threaten biodiversity. Evergreen agriculture is the integration of trees into annual food crops. Intercropping trees with food crops and livestock helps sustain a green cover on the land throughout the year. This bolsters nutrient supply, increases direct production of food, fodder fuel, fibre and income from tree products. It also enhances carbon storage and resilience to climate change
