- Agroforestry has been recognized by international organisms (FAO, UN, EU) as a sustainable land management system, that is not extensively used in temperate areas. One of the main reasons for this fact is the lack of knowledge of agroforestry by different types of stakeholders such as policy makers, farmers and general public. Having a clear definition of agroforestry and the practices that it involves will help farming systems to move into the Climate Smart Agriculture objectives including increasing farm income and productivity, adaptation and resilience, and mitigation to climate change. Identifying agroforestry practices should be targeting main land uses to help farmers to adopt this sustainable land use system. Five agroforestry practices can be identified in Europe: silvoarable, silvopasture, riparian buffer strips, forest farming, and homegardens that are able to be introduced in more than 90% of the European Agricultural area.
