Agrofloresta
Agrofloresta “forest garden agriculture” - is a system where fruit and vegetables are being grown under the shade of the trees. Instead of a mono culture a multi culture is being cultivated. So therefore in addition to perennial wood plants (trees, shrubs, palm trees, bamboo etc.) fruit trees and agricultural crops are also being planted.
