Agroforestry Models Developed by Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE)

• Publication

This comprehensive technical report presents detailed agroforestry models developed by the Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE) across diverse agro-climatic zones of India. It covers the scientific basis for model development, improved germplasm/clonal varieties, carbon sequestration potential, and socio-economic benefits. The report includes models tailored for the Trans Himalayan region, Western and Eastern Himalayas, Gangetic plains, Plateau regions, Western dry zones, and Coastal plains and Ghats. It also discusses agroforestry’s role in climate change mitigation, adaptation, achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and fostering agroforestry entrepreneurship. Case studies illustrate the profitability and adoption rates among Indian farmers.
