I'm currently reading One Size Fits None by Stephanie Anderson--nothing on Agroforestry specifically (more focused on grasslands), but follows the same general principle. Really interesting.
Great post! Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed reading it. I couldn't agree more with your points.
The joint IPBES-IPCC report had a nice summary of the need for agroforestry in finding biodiversity-climate win-wins. Point 14 in the summary: "Sustainable agricultural and forestry practices can improve adaptive capacity, enhance biodiversity, increase carbon storage in farmland and forest soils and vegetation, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions." I discuss this very briefly (but don't mention agroforestry explicitly) here: https://predirections.substack.com/p/the-search-for-win-win-biodiversity.
Population degrowth along with Agroforestry and long term planning and cleaning up our mess. Particularly the one ocean. ITs All Connected. One Health. SDG.
Yes, there are alternatives around the world for decades, even over a century that demonstrate workable, credible, authentic, intergenerationally responsible - optimal Soil- Land-, Forest- and Water Catchment - Landscape Management.
Shelter, Hydrology, Biodiversity, Circularity and Local Community and Business togetherness.
In 1989 ProSilva was founded in Slovenia: https://www.prosilva.org , the ANW Germany in 1950, (I am a member since 1990).

We love a book recommendation. Thank you!

Shelter is key.

ProSilva is mentioned in AUS this year in this article by David Holmgren: https://holmgren.com.au/writing/shades-of-green-finding-a-middle-path-through-the-forest
In New Zealand this is happening:

This was on ABC TV Landline:

Here in Northern Tasmania things happen on 'Notley Valley Farm'.
We use the 3R Principles combined: Regenerative & Restorative and Renovative.

What goes around- comes around. Hope you like to get involved, could be great!
