I’ve been reading agroforestry and permaculture books for a while — I’d love to get into farming —, and this has been known for ages.

Even if not fully understood, it’s well known in agro that trees raise the humidity level of an area and create micro-climates that increase the amount of rain (e.g. of doing nut trees in a valley).

I think… modern agriculture just forgot/ignores ancient knowledge.
