For working farms
Margins live in the inputs you stop buying.
A farm that grows its own fodder, fixes its own nitrogen, and composts its own waste stream buys less every season. That is the case for agroforestry stated as accounting, not ideology.
The profiles below are the workhorses — perennial grasses cut a dozen times a year, boundary trees that earn their ground, and a protein loop that runs on what the farm already throws away.
