Agroforestry: A solution to farming’s biggest problems?

Agriculture takes a huge toll on the earth’s environment by producing massive CO2 emissions and taking up a lot of land. But there is a way to make it more sustainable: Agroforestry. And it has been around for thousands of years - we just forgot about it. We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
