Poster, IBISpaint
The poster showcases a type of agroforestry known as silvoarable. The poster depicts apples, barley, oats and mushrooms which are foods that can be grown in a silvoarable agroforestry system. This type of agroforestry involves planting wooded vegetation such as trees alongside annual crops such as grain crop. This type of agroforestry ensures that the soil is protected from erosion and the other crops are protected from wind damage due to the trees acting as wind breaks. This leads to less soil erosion and more sustainable agriculture
