Agroforestry as a tool for climate adaptation in agriculture: Agroforestry deliberately combines woody perennials with arable crops or grassland on the same land. Historically, this form of land use was widespread, but it was largely displaced during agricultural intensification. In the face of drought, heat, erosion and flash floods, it is now gaining renewed importance. Agroforestry systems can improve the microclimate by reducing wind speed, lowering evaporative stress, retaining more water within the landscape, and thereby contributing to cooling and mitigating weather extremes. At the same time, they promote biodiversity, habitat connectivity, and the protection of soils and water resources. They also offer economic benefits at the farm level by stabilising yields and generating additional products such as timber or fruit. This article shows that agroforestry is therefore among the most promising instruments for climate change adaptation and, at the same time, for climate change mitigation in agriculture. However, its rapid dissemination will require improved support schemes and broader communication of the major advantages of agroforestry systems.
