Trees have been a part of life for centuries in India for sustainable livelihood security. Under the difficultclimatic situations, farmers are forced to adopt tree-based systems to secure their income and
livelihood. Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) harvesting, collection and processing are creating
several employment opportunities in the drought-prone Bundelkhand region of India. This article
aims to document the livelihood dependencyon trees of farmers, tribals and landless labourers for
income generation. Surveys and interviews in Bundelkhand region provided an overview of the
dependency of different rural communities on NTFPs such as gum, dona pattal, lac from Butea;
brooms, jaggery and baskets from Phoenix; flowers and seeds from mahua; bidi leaves from tendu
and sticks from bamboo for sustaining their livelihood. To promote NTFPs-based livelihood enterprises, more emphasis should be given for sustainable harvest, value-addition and marketing.
