Agroforestry: ensuring sustainable development of agroecosystems (review)

The article considers the issues of sustainable development of agroecosystems aimed at the efficient use of natural resources, biodiversity conservation, and increased agricultural productivity. In the context of global warming and the impact of military actions in Ukraine, it is important to implement innovative methods of agroforestry and oilseed farming. The article analyzes current research on the rational use of soil resources, water-saving technologies, biodiversity conservation, and reducing of chemical loads. The role of innovative technologies, such as GIS technologies, drones, satellite monitoring, biotechnology, and agroecological approaches is considered. The article also highlights the socio-economic aspects of sustainable development of agroecosystems, including rural community development, food security, and the creation of «green jobs». Mixed planting schemes of tree crops and medicinal plants, such as linden and lavender, paulownia and lavender, and other possible mixed planting options are proposed. The main goal of the article is to show the prospects of agroforestry innovative methods and oilseed farming using to ensure sustainable development of agroecosystems in Ukraine, contributing to environmental conservation, increased economic efficiency, and improved quality of life for rural communities. It has been shown that the impact of global warming and military actions in Ukraine pose additional challenges to agroecosystems. To overcome them it is important to implement innovative methods such as use of drones, satellite monitoring, biotechnological methods, and agroecological approaches. The implementation of innovative methods of agroforestry and oilseed farming can ensure sustainable development of agroecosystems in Ukraine, contributing to environmental conservation, increasing economic efficiency, and improving life quality of rural communities.

Key words: agroforestry, sustainable development, agroecosystems, tree species, medicinal plants, oilseed farming, biodiversity.
