Description Not Available
Population of India is expected to touch more than 1500 million by
2030; and land under agriculture is decreasing at a rate 0.03 million
(30,000 hectares) per year. Besides this intensive agriculture is
putting immense pressure on land to produce more food accelerate
the process of soil degradation. Overuse of chemical fertilizers
and pesticides, and adverse effect on livestock population due to
shrinking fodder production are other concerns. Ever increasing
challenge of climate change and threats posed by extreme weather
further compound the vulnerability of small holders’ livelihoods
and food security.
Agroforestry has been recognised by more than 140
countries as one of the most effective tools to mitigate and to adopt
the adverse effects of climate change; support restoration and arrest
degradation of soil; ensure livelihood, food, nutrition, energy, fodder,
and increased income for farmers; and to adapt to mitigate climate
change. India has been on the forefront of agroforestry research and
development. Implementation of a National Agroforestry Policy,
a Sub-Mission on Agroforestry, and a National Bamboo Mission
clearly demonstrate the commitment and the will of the Government
of India to mainstream and implement agroforestry at large scale.
