- Project descriptionThe demand for timber and other tree-based products is increasing day by day and one feasible alternative to fulfil such demands would be adopting agroforestry practice as this is one system that can provide both wood and food, while at the same time conserve and rehabilitate ecosystem. The proposed ARR VCS project plans to promote sustainable agroforestry for small-scale farmers to provide them with financial benefits and ensure GHG mitigation in the state of Punjab, India. The project is being conducted in three divisions of Punjab namely Hoshiarpur, Dasuya and Pathankot. The total project area is 3309.56 ha and the agroforestry plantations done by farmers from 2017 to 2020 are considered.
