Forestry

Forestry and agroforestry have close relationship because

  • Agroforestry is a branch of forestry science.
  • Woody perennial trees are common in both sciences and land use system.
  • Forestry has mainly monoculture of natural occurrence, where as agroforestry is a polyculture and has been integrated with trees.
  • Both practice supply similar forest products like fodder, fuel wood and timber, and other NTFPs.
  • Agroforestry helps to protect forest by reducing dependency on forest for the supply of the main products.
  • Knowledge of forestry and silvics of different species gained from forestry science can be applied in agroforestry system development and management.
  • Similarly, knowledge and skills on tree management gained from agroforestry can be applied in forestry.
