???? Neftaly: Mapping and Managing Forest Resources in Agroforestry Systems Using Remote Sensing
Introduction
Agroforestry—the integration of trees into farming systems—is a vital approach to restoring degraded land, enhancing food security, and increasing climate resilience. But managing these complex, tree-based systems requires detailed, accurate, and up-to-date information about both agricultural and forest resources.
At Neftaly, we apply remote sensing technologies to map and manage forest components within agroforestry systems, helping farmers, planners, and policymakers make smarter, more sustainable decisions.

???? Why Agroforestry Matters
Agroforestry systems:
Improve soil fertility and reduce erosion
Increase biodiversity and crop yields
Provide fuelwood, timber, and non-timber forest products
Sequester carbon and support climate change mitigation
Support livelihoods and food systems for millions of rural families
Yet these systems are often overlooked in land-use mapping and policy planning because their forest elements are dispersed, small-scale, and harder to monitor with traditional methods.

???? The Role of Remote Sensing in Agroforestry
Remote sensing allows us to:
Identify and classify tree cover within farmlands
Track changes in vegetation, canopy density, and land use over time
Assess the health and growth of trees and crops
Map the spatial distribution of agroforestry practices across regions
Neftaly translates this data into practical insights for landowners, agricultural extension services, and environmental planners.

???? Neftaly’s Approach to Agroforestry Mapping & Management
✅ High-Resolution Mapping
We use satellite imagery (e.g., Sentinel-2, PlanetScope) and drone data to:
Delineate tree cover in mixed-use landscapes
Distinguish between natural forests, planted trees, and crop systems
Monitor agroecological zones and soil moisture dynamics
✅ Agroforestry Inventory & Resource Monitoring
Track tree species distribution, density, and canopy health
Monitor timber and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) availability
Support reforestation and sustainable harvest planning
✅ Decision Support for Farmers & Planners
Provide interactive maps and mobile tools for field-level decision-making
Support farm-level design of agroforestry layouts for productivity and conservation
Integrate data with climate-smart agriculture and land-use planning tools

???? Tools & Technologies We Use
Google Earth Engine for time-series vegetation analysis
QGIS and GIS layers for field mapping and land-use overlays
Drone-based monitoring for detailed canopy and crop structure mapping
Mobile apps for data collection and farmer engagement
Machine learning to classify tree species and land-use patterns

???? Benefits of Neftaly’s Remote Sensing in Agroforestry
Better land management and tree crop integration
Evidence-based extension services and agroecological planning
More accurate reporting for climate, restoration, and food security programs
Empowered farmers and communities through access to digital tools
Support for policy alignment on agroforestry, forestry, and agriculture

???? Who We Work With
We collaborate with:
Smallholder farmers and cooperatives
Agricultural extension agencies and ministries
NGOs and development partners
Climate-smart agriculture and restoration programs
Universities and research institutions

???? Let’s Grow Resilient Landscapes Together
By harnessing remote sensing, Neftaly is helping to bridge the gap between forests and farms, supporting land managers with the tools they need to map, manage, and maximize the benefits of agroforestry systems—for people, the planet, and future generations.
