Agroforestry in Uttar Pradesh: Enhancing Rural Livelihoods and Green Cover – Grow Billion Trees
Uttar Pradesh has a predominantly agrarian economy, with nearly 77% of its population engaged in agriculture. Agroforestry offers an additional source of income by diversifying farming outputs.
Farmers grow high-value timber species like poplar (Populus deltoides) and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus tereticornis) alongside staple crops, creating dual income streams from agriculture and forestry.
