Cover Story: Agroforestry is one nature-based solution that holds significant potential for improving the sustainability and resilience of agricultural systems. Digital tools designed for agroforestry typically focus on timber and crop production, and not on the broader range of benefits usually considered in assessments of ecosystem services and natural capital. We evaluated 63 tools, but several would currently be required in combination in order to address each of the natural capital themes identified. We find that model complexity, spatial processes, accessibility, regional applicability, development speed, and interoperability present significant challenges. These challenges can be considered as opportunities to develop new, as well as to build upon existing, tools to enhance decision support in agroforestry systems. View this paper
