AGROFORESTRY COURSE | Lesson 11, Module 3 - Stratification of Species | Food Forest COURSE |

Our full Agroforestry Introduction Course will give you all the initial information you need in order to start developing your own agroforestry systems, and enjoy a higher production from your farm or garden, while improving your soil.

During the course, you will have access to 5 modules, where we will show you different Agroforestry systems, explain to you the basic principles behind it, show you some important techniques, and take you through the initial planting of a system. We will take you through all the steps, from preparing the soil, to covering the soil, to planting, AND we will keep you up-to-date on the development of the system planted during the course.

Glad to have found you guys. You have convinced me to not only plant coffee but also use this system in my farm in Kenya.

Doesn't it affect/hurt a tree like avocado if we are pruning it instead of letting it grow to its maximum height and reach its natural height in the stratification? And just collect the reachable fruits.
