Abstract

Trees can become an attractive integral component of farming systems by demonstrating that they are as profitable than traditional agricultural crops. Agroforestry systems help address the short-term profitability needs of the farmer while achieving long-term goals of maintaining yields and the environment. This study compares the profitabilities of traditional crops and an agroforestry system. A linear programming model finds an optimal farming alternatives through long-term financial analysis. The results are presented in the context of scenarios which include different discount rates and land quality classifications.
