*5.1.5 Multiple cropping/agroforestry*

Most farmland in the study area consist of woody perennials and annuals in the same land unit. Examples of annuals observed include; Mango, Citrus, Oil palm, Banana, Plantain etc. (**Figure 8**). Young [63] attributed the potential of agroforestry as an erosion control measure to its capacity to supply and maintain a good soil surface cover by the tree canopy and the pruning material. The deep roots will helpto stabilize the soil and increase moisture absorption through transpiration by the trees and crops [62].
