About Agro Forestry

---

  Agro forestry is a promising approach to sustainable land use in Bihar, a state in eastern India. Bihar has a diverse landscape and agro-climatic conditions, making it well-suited for a range of agro forestry systems.

One popular agro forestry system in Bihar is the use of fruit trees in combination with crops. Farmers are integrating mango, guava, and litchi trees with crops like maize, wheat, and pulses. The trees provide shade and shelter to the crops, improving their yields and quality. Additionally, farmers can sell the fruit, generating additional income.

Another common agro forestry system in Bihar is the use of bamboo as a component of agro forestry. Bamboo is a fast-growing and versatile plant that can be used for a range of products, including furniture, handicrafts, and construction materials. By integrating bamboo with crops and other trees, farmers can create sustainable and diverse systems that provide economic and environmental benefits.
