    Farm forestry is the cultivation of high-value specialty crops under a foresy canopy that is intentionally modified or maintained to provide shade levels and habitat that favor growth and enhance production levels.forest farming encopasses a range of cultivated systems from introducing plants into the understory of timbers stand to modifying forest stands to enhance the marketability and sustainable production of existing plants
    Monocropping is the agricultural practice of growing a single crop year after year in the same land in the absence rotation through other crops or growing multiple crops on the same land
    The advantages farm forestry has over monocropping includes;
    ATMOSPHERIC PURIFICATIONS:Farm forestry has a high ability for carbon absorption.due to tall trees that capures excess carbon in the atmospher and store carbon
    EROSION PREVENTION:due to dorminance of tall trees with broad roots.In farm forestry.the roots of the trees that surrounds the primary crops hold soil in place during and after harvest,this allows for ground,moisture level to remain regular reducing soil degradation and erosion
    WATER MANAGEMENT:Farm forestry helps with water shed managements.the shed provided by tall trees help the plant being grown beneath them to be watered adequately.
    SUNLIGHT CONTROL:farm forestry helps with control of excess penetration of sunlight.the canopy provided by the tree helps the plant beneath them to be protected by excess sunlight.
