• Agroforesty

• Forestry

• Permaculture

The four "I's" of agroforestry are Intentional, interactive, integrated, and:

• Introduction

• Intensive

• Impatient

Practicing agroforestry results in:

• Reduction in soil health

• Less habitat for wildlife

Agroforestry fosters productivity, profitability, and:

• Potential

• Environmental stewardship

• Power

• Pragmatism

Combining trees with livestock and their forages on one piece of land is known as:

• Silvopasture

• Silvofarming

• Agronomy

• Animal science

Agroforestry farming systems include silvopasture, alley cropping, windbreaking, and:

• Forest fires

• Forest farming

• Windmills

• Farm run off

Forest farming includes growing medicinal plants, mushrooms and ferns. One highly valued forest

farm crop grown in North Carolina is:

the right place:

• At the right time

• For the right purpose

• To increase the amount of trees harvested

• For right now
