Economic feasibility and socio-economic impact of biosaline agro-forestry systems in Haryana, India
This article focuses on the use of plantations to produce biomass energy products. This integration of trees with (potential) intercropping in the agricultural system is called agro-forestry. However, if the demand for renewable energy from biomass sources is to be met, large plots of agricultural land will have to be converted to agro-forestry systems. As part of the Haryana Social Forestry Project, the state government is encouraging the establishment of agro-forestry plantations on salt-affected Panchayat lands.
