Summary

Adoption of sustainable agriculture through agroforestry systems presents a viable solution to address declining soil fertility, land degradation and food insecurity in Bangladesh. This review examines intensive agroforestry systems characterized by high-density, multispecies cropping, highlighting their potential to improve crop yield, restore soil health and enhance ecosystem services. Practices such as homestead gardening, multi-storey cropping, orchard-based systems and boundary plantations contribute to nutrient cycling, biodiversity conservation and climate resilience. However, widespread use of chemical fertilizers continues to degrade soil quality and diminish productivity. Integrating organic and biofertilizers within an integrated nutrient management (INM) framework offers a sust
