<abstract>Agroforestry globally integrates trees with crops/livestock, covering vast agricultural lands (over 1 billion hectares), and offers climate resilience, biodiversity, and diversified income through systems like shaded coffee, home gardens, windbreaks, and silvopasture (e.g., Spainand#39;s dehesas), providing food, timber, and ecosystem services, vital for smallholder farmers and sustainable food security. Key practices range from traditional tropical home gardens with multiple species to modern windbreaks and riparian buffers, balancing production with environmental health.</abstract>
