TROPICAL FRUIT FARMING - Jefferson Alex Maciel Cavalcante - Bog

There is growing evidence that trees protect and exploit the environment more effectively than annual plants of small size or size. Evergreen (perennial) trees have an advantage over seasonal crops in that their leaf coverage is present throughout the year. Agroforestry provides a detailed explanation of the role trees play in both the environment and farming systems. The appreciation of the distinctive flavor of each variety has developed over the centuries. Today, gardens flourish, and people are familiar with home methods of preservation and cooking practice; they are also aware of the health benefits traditionally attributed to each fruit species. Yet most people have to make do with less fruit than they would actually like to consume, something that depends on the eating habits or financial condition of a population.
