Agroforestry in Uttar Pradesh: Enhancing Rural Livelihoods and Green Cover
Agroforestry in Uttar Pradesh is enhancing green cover and improving rural livelihoods through sustainable practices. By integrating trees with crops and livestock, farmers are boosting agricultural productivity, enriching soil fertility, and reducing erosion. Trees like poplar and eucalyptus are cultivated for timber, fodder, and fuel, providing additional income streams. These practices also contribute to biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration, helping combat climate change. Government initiatives, such as subsidies and training programs, are promoting agroforestry, empowering rural communities and fostering environmental sustainability across the state.
