Strategies such as alley cropping, silvopasture, windbreaks, and riparian buffers can compliment existing yields, increasing your farm's profitability while securing cost savings through ecosystem services such as carbon, water, nutrient, and soil retention. Agroforestry Sequesters Carbon Our carbon cycle is currently broken: by way of fossil fuel usage and land degradation, humans are currently converting terrestrial carbon into atmospheric carbon far more quickly than we are putting that carbon back into the ground. A tree is the opposite of a smoke stack. Trees pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it in their woody trunk and branches. Just as much carbon can also be stored below-ground in the tree’s roots and soil. Via the liquid carbon pathway, tr
