Empleo de sistemas agro forestales como herramienta indispensable en el incremento de la productividad del sector agro-productivo

Abstract

Use of agroforestry systems as indispensable tools for increasing the productivity of the agricultural sector. They are also a better option for the management of tropical dry forest areas on intervened or degraded slopes. Its benefits are based on land use and also increase productivity and reduce production costs and thus ensure food security for local rural communities. In Ecuador, this Agroforestry System has been very successful due to the diversity in our productive areas which could be replicated in any part of the country, starting with the oldest such as Migratory Agriculture and fallow. The work was carried out by means of a bibliographic review and the objective was to describe the use of agroforestry systems as an indispensable technique, for increasing the production of the agricultural sector. Forest products from reforestation include: wood, cellulose pulp, posts, fruits, fibers and fuels, community trees and trees that grow farmers around their homes or land. Activities aimed at protecting agroforestry systems include trees planted in order to stabilize the slopes and fix sand dunes, protective belts, agro-afforestation systems, live fences and shade trees.
