Some very surprising research about agricultural land and tree cover came out of the 2nd World Congress of Agroforestry being held in Nairobi, Kenya, this week.
"Although agriculture, particularly in the developing world, is often associated with massive deforestation, scientists from the World Agroforestry Centre demonstrated today, in a study using detailed satellite imagery, that almost half of all farmed landscapes worldwide include significant tree cover."
