Agroforestry Research Trust is a brand that focuses on the practice of agroforestry, which involves growing both trees and agricultural or horticultural crops on the same piece of land. Their goal is to provide tree and crop products while also protecting and sustaining vital economic, environmental, human, and natural resources. Unlike traditional forestry and agriculture, agroforestry emphasizes the interactions among components rather than just the individual components themselves.

Research has shown that agroforestry systems can be more biologically productive, profitable, and sustainable compared to monocultures. They offer a range of benefits, such as controlling runoff and soil erosion, maintaining soil fertility and physical properties, and promoting more efficient use of nutrients. Agroforestry can also lead to reduced insect pests, reclamation of eroded land, and a healthier environment overall.

Through their products, services, and research, the Agroforestry Research Trust is dedicated to creating more resilient and diverse farming systems that benefit both the land and communities
