Abstract/Description: | The population explosion has brought marginal rainfed lands in to cultivation, posing a serious threat to natural eco system resulting in low and un economical yields. Inappropriate arable cropping systems often lead to rapid degradation of arable land, besides holding little promise of coping with ever increasing needs of human and livestock population. At present nearly 70% of the area is affected by wind erosion. If destruction of natural vegetation and over use of marginal lands continues, up to 9% of the additional land may be affected by wind erosion by 2020. Rehabilitation of the degraded lands and enabling more food and biomass production from these lands is the priority in the immediate and medium term. Alternate land use systems with perennial tree/ bush/ grass systems are better alternatives for such regions. Development of perennial based systems for different agro ecological regions can meet the requirements of ever growing population of both human and livestock. With the development of Indian economy and growing per capita incomes, there is a growing requirement of products such as animal products, fruits, bio fuels, paper and environmental friendly packaging material, etc. besides fodder and fuel. These products can be obtained from perennial systems, which can be grown under rainfed conditions. Systems like agri horticulture, silvipasture, hortipasture, dye yielding, medicinal and aromatic plants not only meet diversified requirements of the economy but also enhances income to rainfed farmers. Further processing of these products could emerge as an important source of income and employment |
