Abstract

The process of growing big trees along with shrubs, crops and livestock is called Agroforestry. It is a botanical term that signifies a practice where a vast piece of land is converted into farmlands but has everything ranging from big perennials, shrubs, and animals reared at the same time. Agroforestry has been recognised as a land use system capable of yielding both food and wood besides conserving and rehabilitating the ecosystem. Trees play dominant role in all agroforestry systems for sustainable agriculture and environmental protection.
