Question

1. Which farming technique is associated with the strategic plantation of trees as depicted in the image?
2. How does this technique contribute to a sustainable agriculture?

Answer 1

1. The technique shown here is called the Windbreaker method.
2. To protect agricultural fields from wind, rows of trees and shrubs are planted along their boundaries. In addition to greatly reducing wind erosion, wind blockers improve the fields’ aesthetic appeal and air quality. Large trees have a robust, extensive root system. As a result, they prevent soil erosion brought on by water movement and retain soil securely.
