It outlined the benefits of agroforestry, including reduced production costs, diversified income sources, and enhanced environmental health through improved soil fertility and increased carbon sequestration. The presentation concluded by discussing the importance of stakeholder engagement, site assessment, and proper planning in the successful implementation of agroforestry practices, while also addressing existing challenges and future prospects.
