Abstract :

 The Agro–forestry systems in India include trees on farms, community forestry and a variety of local forest management and ethno forestry practices. In this era of global warming, fast degradation of land productivity and other environmental hazards, Agro–forestry is indeed a stake for natural resources and socioeconomic sustainability. The present study indicated that there were 54.2% of respondents found had most favorable attitude towards Agro–forestry. It was found that respondents have their own criteria for testing species suitable for improving soil fertility, availability of fodder, and fuel wood requirements. The study further indicated that a significant majority of the respondents had not adopted the recommended Agro–forestry practices. Therefore, it would be worthwhile for the government functionaries to organize training, demonstration and take up appropriate educational programs so that the respondents may loaded with required information and skills to adopt the new methods and practices of agroforestry time to time.
