    Course contents<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Resources conservation, productivity improvement and sustainability through agroforestry: Use of the appropriate woody perennials and structural   arrangements for effective conservation of the management system’s growth resources (e.g. stop soil erosion) and growth environments for maintained site productivity; use of multi-components provides for system’s multiple and diversified products (i.e. tree, crop and animal including possibilities for aquatic and insect based products); more efficient materials and nutrient flows including biological N-fixation and Mycorrhizal effects that ameliorate the physical, chemical, biological and water environments to ensure improvements and sustainability of productivity of resources management systems. Aspects of organic farming and fertilization (i.e. use of organic manures and mineral fertilizers). <\/span><\/p>\n
