What is Agroforestry
Mixed-use land management system that combines
agriculture and forestry practices in order to create
more diverse productive profitable healthy and
sustainable land-use systems
bull Diverse intercropping of species
bull First harvest can come as early as a few weeks
bull Plant succession
Herbs and spices vegetables fruits hard wood
What is Agroforestry
What is Remineralization
bull Remineralization is a fertilization technique that uses rock powders to rejuvenate depleted soils restoring healthy conditions without disturbing natural ecosystems
bull Rock powders can be used as substitutes for chemical fertilizers and pesticides
Remineralization is also a ldquoTriple Bottom Line Solutionrdquo to issues of food security erosion forest management and climate change
What is Remineralization
Advantages of Agroforestrybull Water Savings due to less
evapotranspiration (greater
soil coverage)
bull Require less fertilizers (the
plants naturally supply each
other with key nutrients)
bull Resembles natural
ecosystems protecting
biodiversity and producing
natural goods and ecosystem
services
Advantages of Agroforestry

Advantages of Agroforestry
Galbert et al (2013)
Advantages of Agroforestrybull Trees can be used for
shelter biofuels and
medicinal purposes
bull It can be easily
combined with other
sustainable agricultural
techniques eg
Remineralization
Biochar Compost
Organics etc
Advantages of Remineralizationbull Provides slow natural release of elements and trace
minerals
bull Rebalances soil pH
bull Increases earthworm activity and the growth of
microorganisms
bull Builds humus complex
bull Prevents soil erosion
bull Increases the storage capacity of the soil
bull Decreases dependence on fertilizers pesticides and
herbicides
Advantages of Remineralization
Goreau et al (2011)
Advantages of Remineralizationbull Increases the nutrient intake of plants
bull Increases yields and gives higher brix reading
bull Increases resistance to insects disease frost and drought
bull Produces more nutritious crops
bull Enhances flavor in crops and shelf life

Advantages of Agroforestrybull Water Savings due to less
evapotranspiration (greater
soil coverage)
bull Require less fertilizers (the
plants naturally supply each
other with key nutrients)
bull Resembles natural
ecosystems protecting
biodiversity and producing
natural goods and ecosystem
services
Advantages of Agroforestry

Advantages of Agroforestry
Galbert et al (2013)
Advantages of Agroforestrybull Trees can be used for
shelter biofuels and
medicinal purposes
bull It can be easily
combined with other
sustainable agricultural
techniques eg
Remineralization
Biochar Compost
Organics etc
Advantages of Remineralizationbull Provides slow natural release of elements and trace
minerals
bull Rebalances soil pH
bull Increases earthworm activity and the growth of
microorganisms
bull Builds humus complex
bull Prevents soil erosion
bull Increases the storage capacity of the soil
bull Decreases dependence on fertilizers pesticides and
herbicides
Advantages of Remineralization
Goreau et al (2011)
Advantages of Remineralizationbull Increases the nutrient intake of plants
bull Increases yields and gives higher brix reading
bull Increases resistance to insects disease frost and drought
bull Produces more nutritious crops
bull Enhances flavor in crops and shelf life
