Fight fire with food forests
by David Tng
Fire-Smart Agroforestry: Tropical Crop Flammability InsightsThis study assessed the shoot flammability of 65 tropical crop species to guide the design of fire-resilient agroforestry systems. Findings show that groundcovers, shrubs, and vines are generally less flammable than canopy and subcanopy plants. The leaf dry mass to fresh mass ratio consistently predicts flammability. Results offer practical strategies for farmers and policymakers, such as using low-flammability species and green firebreaks to reduce wildfire risk and enhance agricultural resilience.
