The development of future multifunctional land use is an important task under the conditions of climate change. The ecological and sustainable agriculture of the future requires more than just the optimization of agronomic objectives. As ecological systems, windbreaks and farm trees make an important contribution to the agricultural landscape. They not only influence the microclimatic site conditions but also give the entire cultivated landscape its structure. Trees can fulfill an important ecological function around farms and settlements. The preservation and promotion of biodiversity in the Western Cape region is of particular importance. With its high diversity of species, the flora and fauna of the Cape Floristic Region is one of the hotspots of biodiversity. It is important to integrate this into the landscape, so that both land use and nature conservation benefit. Integrative solutions can thus lead to a multifunctionality of the cultural landscape and bridge the gap between ecology, economy, and human needs. Holistic sustainability is an important basis for future agriculture, and its implementation requires consideration of all components along the value chain.
