Cherry picking in the media Cherry picking is often used by the media, particularly in the case of less reputable media bodies, when they present only one side of a story, or give it disproportional coverage while ignoring facts that could support alternative viewpoints. For example, consider a situation where a new study, which is based on the input of thousands of scientists in a certain field, finds that 99 % of them agree with the consensus position on a certain phenomenon, and only 1 % of them disagree with it. When reporting on this study, a reporter who engages in cherry picking might say the following: “A recent study found that there are plenty of scientists who disagree with the consensus position on this phenomenon.” This statement represents an example of cherry picking, because it only mentions the fact that the study found that some scientists disagree with the consensus position on the phenomenon in question, while ignoring the fact that the study in question also found that the vast majority of scientists support this position. <https://tinyurl.com/yjem2sm2> Acesso em: 28.10.2022.

Agroforestry is the interaction of agriculture and trees, including the agricultural use of trees. This comprises trees on farms and in agricultural landscapes, farming in forests and along forest margins and tree-crop production, including cocoa, coffee, rubber and oil palm. Interactions between trees and other components of agriculture may be important at a range of scales: in fields (where trees and crops are grown together), on farms (where trees may provide fodder for livestock, fuel, food, shelter or income from products including timber) and landscapes (where agricultural and forest land uses combine in determining the provision of ecosystem services). Agroforestry is agricultural and forestry systems that try to balance various needs: 1) to produce trees for timber and other commercial purposes; 2) to produce a diverse, adequate supply of nutritious foods both to meet global demand and to satisfy the needs of the producers themselves; and 3) to ensure the protection of the natural environment so that it continues to provide resources and environmental services to meet the needs of the present generations and those to come. <https://tinyurl.com/pnv4wjx8> Acesso em: 04.03.2023.
