Alley cropping would be most useful for sustainable farming in the situation of **growing crops that require a lot of shade**. Alley cropping involves planting rows of trees or crops in a way that creates alleys for other crops to grow. This method provides shade for understory crops, helping to reduce evaporation and maintain soil moisture, while also improving soil health through organic matter from tree litter and potentially providing additional income from tree products.
