Alley cropping also provides a source of fuelwood, timber, and other non-timber forest products. Additionally, it can help to reduce the risk of crop failure due to drought or pests. Alley cropping is a popular form of agroforestry in many parts of the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. It is often used in combination with other agroforestry practices, such as intercropping and contour planting.
