📌Free webinar on "Agroforestry to Mining Restoration"
Agroforestry is a land use management system in which an intentional combination of agriculture and forestry greatly enhances yields from staple food crops, enhances farmer livelihoods from income generation, increases biodiversity, improves soil structure and health, reduces erosion, and carbon sequestration. Beside this Mining restoration is the process of modifying land that has been mined to ecologically functional and economically usable state. Therefore, mining restoration is the great deal for Agroforestry in any developing or developed state for the optimal utilization of natural resources according to the increasing demand of the Market.
Purpose:
This webinar is a very general initiative to create awareness among our public , government and private companies about the alarming situation of Earth's climate. One of the solution to the increasing demand for food , shelter and living necessities due to over population ,can be restored through Agroforestry to mining restoration .This session is going to be a great contribution to the current problems , joining the session will also elevate your knowledge.

3. Problems
Mine exploration, construction, operation, and
maintenance may result in land-use change, and may
have associated negative impacts on environments,
including deforestation, erosion, contamination and
alteration of soil profiles, contamination of local
streams and wetlands, and an increase in noise level,
dust and emissions.

6. Taungya System to
Restore Mined-Out Areas
Taungya is a system of forest management in which land
is cleared and planted initially for food crops. Seedlings of
a desirable timber species are then planted on the same
plot of land, either in combination with the food crops or
following several years of cultivation.
7. Alley Cropping To Restore
Mined-out Areas
Alley cropping is defined as the planting of
rows of trees and/or shrubs to create alleys
within which agricultural or horticultural crops
are produced.
8. Combination of Plantation and
Crops To Restore Mined-out Areas
Plantation crop combination agroforestry practice (PCCAP) is
an agroforestry practice containing plantation crops (such as
coffee, cocoa, tea, rubber, oil palm, spices, coconut, fruit
crops, etc.) and/or shade trees, fuel wood/fodder trees, or
shade tolerant herbaceous crops as its main components.
9. Mixed Tree Gardens To
Restore Mined-out Areas
Plantation crop combination agroforestry practice (PCCAP) is
an agroforestry practice containing plantation crops (such as
coffee, cocoa, tea, rubber, oil palm, spices, coconut, fruit
crops, etc.) and/or shade trees, fuel wood/fodder trees, or
shade tolerant herbaceous crops as its main components.
10. Forest Farming To Restore
Mined-out Areas
Forest farming is the cultivation of high-value specialty
crops under a forest canopy that is intentionally
modified or maintained to provide shade levels and
habitat that favor growth and enhance production
levels.
11. Conclusion
Mining for various types of ores inevitably produces large amounts of
waste material that creates severe physical, chemical and biological
barriers for the establishment of new plant recruits. However, there are
many benefits of agroforestry to mining restoration, but the two main
ones are preventing of soil erosion and provision of nutrients to crops.
12. Recommendation
It is necessary that participatory planning of the workers from mining companies
and government law-making bodies for rehabilitation be carried out for
rehabilitation measures to sustain over a long period by using agroforestry
approaches. There is also a need to focus on indigenous species and
developing seed banks and nurseries where these resilient species can be
raised for planting in the areas selected for rehabilitation.
