"Urban Agroforestry"

"Agroforestry intentionally incorporates trees with crops and/or animals, and it can take many forms. Agroforestry practices are commonly utilized on farms and ranches in rural landscapes, but they can also be applied to urban and suburban environments. Urban agroforestry refers to the integration of trees and other perennial crops into urban, suburban, and other community spaces. Trees can be integrated into any number of urban landscapes, including urban farms, backyards, public parks, roadsides, neighborhoods, and other underutilized or marginal spaces. With proper planning, design, and management, these systems can increase the economic, ecological, and community resilience of urban areas."
