Agroforestry has traditionally been a way of life and livelihood
in India for centuries. The role of agroforestry in improving
land productivity, soil conservation, bio-amelioration, climate
moderation, and increasing farmers’ income is widely acclaimed
today.
Research and development activities in agroforestry gained
momentum in India since 1983 with the launch of the All India
Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Agroforestry by the
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). Generation of
knowledge on tree-based farming systems through this AICRP led
to the establishment of a National Research Centre on Agroforestry
(NRCAF) in 1988 in Jhansi, U.P., which was renamed as Central
Agroforestry Research Institute (CAFRI) in 2014. These initiatives
got a further boost when ICRAF (World Agroforestry Centre)
joined India’s agroforestry programme in 2003. Partnership with
ICRAF gave India access to international expertise and advanced
tools and techniques of research.
