    Hi, Here are some major differences between the two:

    First, Forestry is the practice of managing forests and woodlands for human and environmental benefits, while agroforestry is the practice of integrating trees and shrubs into farming systems for environmental, economic, and social benefits.

    Finally, Forestry helps improve soil quality and biodiversity, fight climate change, and provide resources like lumber and shade. Agroforestry helps reduce soil erosion, increase biodiversity, and provide jobs and economic well-being in rural communities.

    Hope you got your answer.
