<p> Following on from my previous post about permaculture I have found a link to a page about <strong>Agroforestry</strong>. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.agroforestry.co.uk/">http://www.agroforestry.co.uk/</a></p>
<p><strong><em>Agroforestry is the growing of both trees and agricultural / horticultural crops on the same piece of land. </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>They are designed to provide tree and other crop products and at the same time protect, conserve, diversify and sustain vital economic, environmental, human and natural resources.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> Agroforestry differs from traditional forestry and agriculture by its focus on the interactions amoung components rather than just on the individual components themselves.</em></strong></p>
<p>In the long term I believe both Permaculture and Agroforestry will have a great influence on the HCFA's planning strategy.</p>
