“Agroforestry is when farmers plant trees… to make whatever they want!” This was the concluding remark of Rowan Reid, an Australian agroforester, at the recent 7th European Agroforestry Conference in the Czech Republic.
This approach aligns with the idea that the most resilient agricultural systems are the least homogeneous, promoting landscape diversity and a polyculture mindset.
RougeCongo embodies this philosophy by encouraging farmers to diversify their palm groves with fruit trees, fast-growing trees, and timber. They also suggest intercropping and cover plants, ensuring biodiversity in the plantations.
