Agroforestry Solutions for Soil Restoration and Sustainable Land Management, a volume in the Agricultural Soil Degradation and Restoration series, provides insights into the role of agroforestry in sustainable food production around the globe. Focusing on the multi-disciplinary nature of agricultural soil science, this volume highlights the current challenges, solution options and future research options. Agroforestry encompasses a variety of systems with a global presence, positively impacting people's livelihoods and resilience to climate change. Economically and ecologically commendable, agroforestry enhances agricultural and environmental sustainability by promoting soil nutrient cycling, increasing crop productivity, and improving food quality. The integrated cultivation of trees and crops in interactive combinations, known as agroforestry, is globally recognized as a sustainable land-use practice. Agroforestry Solutions for Soil Restoration and Sustainable Land Management is a state-of-the-art synthesis of research findings and evaluations related to Land Degradation Neutrality and Soil Restoration, with a particular focus on the agricultural production, livelihood and climate change dimensions of agroforestry. This volume will be useful to scientists, academicians, and students of agroforestry, land use system, natural resources management, cropping systems and other related subjects.
