Agroforestry holds the key in providing alternative economically viable livelihood development and to support
mountainous farmers to adapt to climate change. Innovative agroforestry interventions integrating animal production,
horticulture etc into cropping systems exist that can help farmers improve yields and provide resilience for supporting
livelihoods particularly among marginal communities. But, the lack of knowledge, technical know-how and other
information among the farmers are major barriers in adoption of agroforestry. Millions of the farmers of mountainous
regions already wrestling with water scarcity, which would be more severe in climate change scenario. The Himalayan
regions are have been considered to be highly sensitive to climate change. Indeed, Innovative agroforestry interventions
have the potential to conserve natural resources, improve productivity and provide resilience to climate change. The
present paper highlights the need for developing innovative agroforestry interventions to promote various alternate
livelihood options through diversification, adoption of high yielding varieties and development of innovative products
from forest resources. Of these, spice based agroforetry, silvi-medicinal systems, Van silk cultivation, bamboo and
ringal cultivation and development and use of farm resources based products like bamboo based composite structures,
Seabuckthorn herbal tea, Ghingaroo juice (Crataegus crenulata) and incense products etc holds a promising potential
to be explored as better options for future scenario
