Homestead development is a diverse, dynamic and interesting horticultural area; it appears as an agroforestry plot in a cultivated landscape surrounding it, and it is more productive than single cropping, since harvesting is continuous over a great portion of the growing season and beyond.

A trial crop rotation system of '2+2', where a succession of two spring crops (maize) followed by two winter crops (wheat) aims to diversify cropping through rotation (sequences and intervals) while limiting weed pressure under a no-tillage system.

The implementation of agroforestry in a cereal field can help aid biodiversity, that will in turn support natural pest control, improve the resilience to water and climate stress through improved infiltration, provide more shade and less wind-stress, and will improve soil health, among other benefits.

Low-maintenance hedgerows were established in 2003 at the ridges of an agro-pastoral farm common in Brittany to protect water quality, ensure animal well-being, maintain biodiversity, and for energy, timber and litter production.
