Hello and welcome to another week at Biology @ BellaOnline!

This week's article is an introduction to a field of biology that I feel is not being paid enough attention - Agroforestry. In fact, the majority of non-scientific folks probably have very little idea as to what agroforestry is and why it is important to them!

I was privileged to receive a communication from one of our subscribers who is actually engaged in this field of work, and it spurred me to learn more about it and share that information with my readers. This article is an introduction to agroforestry, but I feel it is such an important emergent science that I'll certainly be back with more articles on it in the future.

So - here's the latest article from the Biology site at BellaOnline.com!

Agroforestry - An Introduction
Agroforestry, as the name implies, is the process of combining the practices of agriculture and forestry in order to create beneficial biological interactions.
