Agroforestry combines forestry with agriculture or range management, addressing rural development by enhancing food production, local energy supply, and timber generation. The primary agroforestry systems include agrisilviculture, silvo-pastoral, agrosilvopastrol, and multipurpose tree production systems, each facilitating different land use strategies for improved sustainability and economic conditions. These systems aim to optimize land use while ensuring the ecological balance and enhancing livelihoods in rural areas.

Agroforestry and Agroforestry system

2. Agroforestry
• The term agroforestry covers a variety of land use
systems combining forestry with agriculture or range
management on the same land.
• Agroforestry is a form of land use that successfully
satisfies the needs of the crop farmer, forester and/or
livestock farmer

4. Agroforestry aims at solving
problems of rural development
 Increasing and improving the yields of food production,
 Safeguarding local energy supply,
 Production of timber and a variety of other raw materials for
the farmers subsistence, for industrial use and if applicable-for
exports,
 Protection and improvement of the production potential of a
given site and environment; increasing the human ecological
carrying capacity.
 Safeguarding sustainability through appropriate intensification
of land use.
 Improving social and economical conditions in rural areas by
creation of jobs and income and reduction of risks.

5. Agroforestry Systems
• Following are the agroforestry system:
 Agrisilviculture
 Silvo-pastoral
 Agrosilvopastrol
 Multipurpose forest trees production system

6. Agrisilviculture
• The conscious and deliberate use of land for the
concurrent production of agricultural crops and forest
crops.
• This is perhaps the most common form of agroforestry

8. Silvo-pastoral
• The land management system in which forests are
managed for the production of wood as well as for the
rearing of domesticated animals.

10. Agrosilvopastrol
• The land management system in which land is managed
for the concurrent production of agricultural, and forest
crops and for the rearing of domesticated animals.
• This system is the combination of agrisilviculture and
the silvopastrol system.

12. Multipurpose tree
production system
• Forest tree species are regenerated and managed for
their ability to produce not only wood but leaves and/or
fruits that are also suitable for food or fodder.
