Abstract

The present study is an attempt to review the global agro forestry system. Agro forestry has enormous potential to prevent climate change, safeguard people and livelihoods, and lay the groundwork for more sustainable economic and social growth. Agro forestry continues to play an important role in illuminating the agricultural sector’s competitive position. The primary problem for improving output in agro forestry systems is rational resource utilization by maximizing positive interactions and reducing negative ones. Climate change, which is produced by global warming, is a phenomena induced in part by an excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Adaptation strategies that encourage sustainable management and community-based practices have the potential not only to protect land and people from some of the negative effects of rising global temperatures, but also to provide opportunities for greater, more sustainable rural development and poverty reduction. The dominance of many traditional agro forestry systems in India provides an opportunity worth examining for carbon sequestration, improved livelihoods, biodiversity protection, soil fertility improvements, and rural employment.
