| Summary |
So far, there is no policy that deals with specifics in agroforestry in India. But, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research has been discussing on the scope of having a National Agroforestry Policy. However, evolving a policy requires good and reliable datasets on the subject matter. This synthesis volume is an attempt to collate available information in a classified manner into different system ecologies, problems and solutions, and converging them into a policy support |
