E-book Agroforestry Systems for Ecological Restoration
The degradation of ecosystems and loss of life forms throughout the planet is often associated with farming and grazing activities. Meanwhile, areas set aside for preservation are “protected” from humans by keeping them out
altogether, or by only allowing entrance under strict controls. In this guidebook, we champion the notion that human action is not necessarily detrimental to the environment; rather, it can be beneficial, generating more life and
resources to bring about positive impacts on the environment. Given the premise that the human species is part of nature, the main challenge lies in ensuring the quality and impact of human action on the environment. Striking this balance requires nurturing and improving our notions and attitudes about care for water, soil, and all life forms (including humans!). Some production-oriented land use practices deplete the area and degrade soils, while others make the soil and vegetation richer. What tips the balance one way or the other is the approach that farmers take to farming the land, to using and managing natural resources.
