Investigating the Effects of Different Agroforestry Systems on Crop Productivity and Biodiversity Conservation. MSC

Abstract:
This research project aims to investigate the effects of different agroforestry systems on crop productivity and biodiversity conservation. Agroforestry is an integrated land use system that combines trees or shrubs with agricultural crops or livestock. It has gained recognition as a sustainable farming practice that offers multiple benefits, including increased crop productivity, enhanced biodiversity, and improved ecosystem services. This study will involve field experiments, data collection, and analysis to evaluate the impact of different agroforestry systems on crop yield, biodiversity, and ecological processes. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights into the potential of agroforestry as a sustainable approach for promoting both agricultural productivity and biodiversity conservation.
