Read the passage below carefully and evaluate the statement that follows.
Passage:
High atop the Mambilla Plateau in Taraba State, Nigeria, highland coffee farmers have traditionally depended on cool temperatures and well-distributed rainfall to cultivate high-yielding Arabica beans. Over the past decade, however, rising ambient temperatures have threatened crop yields by fostering fungal blights previously unknown at high elevations. In response, local agricultural extension teams introduced an agroforestry model, interplanting delicate coffee bushes alongside indigenous hardwood shade trees. This dense canopy buffers crops against extreme thermal fluctuations, retains essential soil moisture, and restores populations of natural predators that suppress agricultural pests. Although initial adoption was hindered by farmer hesitation regarding the delayed economic returns of planting timber species, those who implemented the system eventually stabilized their harvests and reduced their dependency on expensive chemical fungicides. Significantly, the ecological impact of the shade canopy reached beyond farm borders; it attracted diverse migratory bird species that actively facilitated seed dispersal into adjacent degraded forest reserves, accelerating natural vegetation recovery.
Statement: The introduction of shade-grown coffee systems on the Mambilla Plateau provided environmental benefits that extended beyond the immediate boundaries of the coffee farms.
