Hedgerows in Agroforestry

“Farmers in the Pacific islands face a number of challenges in raising their crops. Crop damage and soil erosion from strong winds and rain are one such challenge. Soils that are lacking in organic material, which helps retain water and necessary nutrients, is another challenge. Fortunately, there are sustainable agricultural conservation practices that can help overcome these problems. In this publication, we will take a closer look at hedgerows and associated practices for reducing the harmful effects of wind, controlling erosion, providing organic matter, and other benefits.”
