Then the paper outlines and discusses the basic systems in agroforestry including simulataneous agroforestry systems; linear agroforestry systems; alley cropping (hedgerow intercropping); sequential agroforestry systems; shifting cultivation (slash and burn or swidden); improved tree fallow; and Taungya. It also examines briefly other agroforestry practices including aquaforestry and entomoforestry. The paper ends with highlights on agroforestry practices for soil conservation, and watershed management
