Financial analysis for selected land use options in Malaysian agroforestry system / Ahmad Fauzi Puasa, Huda Farhana Mohamad Muslim and Najib Lotfy Arshad

Agroforestry or farm forestry is a production technique that combines agriculture and forestry on the same piece of land to fully utilise the natural resources of sunlight, water and nutrition. This study focuses on developing several agroforestry cropping systems and land use options, and secondly,...
