Project Background:
This project considers supporting agroforestry for improving bio-diversity at a farm level (micro level), with many such farms contributing to improving the bio-diversity and tree cover for the village/region.
Local tree species (both of fruit & wood variety) considering local climatic conditions will be provided to the farmers along with awareness/ training on good agricultural practices (GAP) to help improve the survival rate of the saplings. Planting of fruit & wood species apart from improving bio-diversity will also help improving soil health & structure, reduce erosion and help in carbon sequestration
Project Objectives:
- Improve bio-diversity and tree cover at a farm level (micro level)
- Through agro forestry increase the number of tree species (fruit, wood or both) on farm, with number of species chosen basis local climatic conditions and locally relevant tree species.
- Through awareness/training sessions on good agriculture practices for better survival of saplings
