- Maintenance of the soil's nutrients
- Increased biodiversity
Explanation: Alley cropping (an agroforestry system) uses trees/shrubs interplanted with crops, which helps recycle and retain nutrients (often with nitrogen‑fixing species) and supports more species than simple monocultures. It reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and increases carbon storage, and benefits develop over time rather than instantly.
