Combining multipurpose trees with agricultural crops improves soil fertility, microclimate regulation, and long-term farm income.

• Select nitrogen-fixing trees such as Faidherbia albida or Gliricidia sepium to enrich surrounding soil naturally.
• Space trees strategically along farm boundaries or contour lines to prevent blocking essential sunlight from food crops.
• Prune lower tree branches regularly to provide valuable green mulch and firewood while minimizing crop competition.
