Agroforestry• In India, AF has been a way of life. It is practiced in one form or other in different parts of the country since long.
•Retaining trees on field bunds and/or inside fields or leaving a chunk of holding under natural vegetation is common practice.
• Most AFS provide 5 Fs, plant derived medicines, and timber resources.
• AF area in India estimated to be 14.46 M ha without fallow & 17.45 M ha with fallow land as against 25.32 M ha[ Dhyani et al. 2013].
•>1 billion ha in developing countries, and to a lesser extent in the industrialized countries (Nair et al. 2009;
Zomer et al. 2009)
•Cross cutting approach - sustainable livelihoods and climate change mitigation

Agroforestry Database Development Programme
The specific objectives of the project are
To enable quick and efficient access to consolidated pool of information on agroforestry trees - crop species that can assume useful production or service, or both.
To provide a tool that will assist in the selection of tree/crop/grass species for use in agroforestry and related research using factors that are relevant to the chosen agroforestry technologies.
Whereas the mission of the project,
is to develop Web enabled Agroforestry Information System by providing comprehensive information on agroforestry in India in a temporal and spatial framework.
These databases has been abbreviated as
“agroforestryBASE”
Online Database Management at NRC Agroforestry
"agroforestryBASE"Each part of the "agroforestryBASE" is an independent
module and the components include database management at backend and application programme at the front-end.
It includes following databases namelyDatabase on Agroforestry Research Projects Database on Economic Analysis of AF Case StudyDatabase on Agroforestry MPTS Database on Agroforestry Interventions/Innovations Bibliographic Databases on Agroforestry MPTS and
Web Portal on Tree growth modelling in India

The Database on MPTS (Multipurpose Tree Species) contains information on MPTS being invariably utilized in AF with details on growth, climatic requirement, diseases and pest, production, bibliography etc.
