Agroforestry, the word coined in early seventies, has made its
place in all the developed and the developing countries of the
world and is now recognized as an important approach to ensuring
food security and rebuilding resilient rural environments. India
has been an all-time leader in agroforestry. The South and
Southeast Asia region comprising India is often described as the
cradle of agroforestry. Almost all forms of agroforestry systems
exist across India in ecozones ranging from humid tropical lowlands
to high-altitude and temperate biomes, and perhumid rainforest
zones to parched drylands. The country ranks foremost among the
community of nations not only in terms of this enormous diversity
and long tradition of the practice of agroforestry, but also in
fostering scientific developments in the subject. Agroforestry
applies to private agricultural and forest lands and communities
that also include highly erodible, flood-prone, economically
marginal and environmentally sensitive lands. The typical situation
is agricultural, where trees are added to create desired benefits.
Agroforestry allows for the diversification of farm activities and
makes better use of environmental resources. Owing to an increase
in the population of human and cattle, there is increasing demand
of food as well as fodder, particularly in developing countries
like India. So far, there is no policy that deals
with specifics in agroforestry in India. But, the Indian
Council of Agricultural Research has been discussing on the scope
of having a National Agroforestry Policy in appropriate platforms.
However, evolving a policy requires good and reliable datasets from
different corners of the country on the subject matter. This
synthesis volume containing 13 chapters is an attempt to collate
available information in a classified manner into different system
ecologies, problems and solutions, and converging them into a
policy support.
