Description
The association of trees and vines, agroforestry, is an ancient practice that has long shaped Mediterranean landscapes through the trilogy of olive trees, vines, and wheat and which still persists in certain regions of Europe where cherry trees, peach trees, almond trees or truffle oaks are still associated with vines. Trees limit climatic excesses, improve the soil and, by bringing water from depth to the surface, also improve these water resources. They also create biodiversity that helps combat harmful species by sheltering their natural enemies.
