Agroforestry Complete Revision Pack
 
Leaving Certificate Agricultural Science
 
Agroforestry is now an examinable topic and has already appeared in the 2025 Leaving Certificate paper and the 2026 Pres paper. Despite this, it is not properly covered in the standard textbook.
 
This pack provides a structured, syllabus-aligned breakdown of agroforestry designed specifically for Leaving Certificate Agricultural Science. It focuses on the definitions, system comparisons, environmental linkages and exam-style phrasing required to secure high marks.
 
The material is written in clear, examiner-focused language and links directly to key assessment areas including sustainability, climate mitigation, biodiversity, nutrient cycling and farm diversification. It prepares students to confidently answer both short questions and extended synoptic responses.
 
Suitable for:
Independent student revision
Classroom teaching
Structured exam preparation
Teachers introducing agroforestry for the first time
 
This is not general reading material. It is targeted exam preparation built around how the topic is being assessed.
