Training Lecture Notes on Agroforestry Research and Development to improve livelihood, nutritional and environmental security: Policy, Practice and Impact

The hands-on training-cum-study visits on “Agroforestry Research and Development to improve livelihood, nutritional and environmental security: Policy, Practice and Impact” will enhance much needed awareness, understanding and knowledge of middle-level policy makers about agroforestry research and development, country level existing agroforestry policies & efforts on developing agroforestry policies/ strategies in different countries. It will also cover broad spectra of topics, such as: traditional and transformed agroforestry systems; new instruments and tools for mainstreaming agroforestry, like MIR based soil analytical technology; use of Geo-informatics based applications for qualitative and quantitative mapping of agroforestry; and smart phone based applications to provide extension services to practitioners. Further, some of the very unique outcomes of the proposed training will be exposing the policy makers to “agroforestry in action” sites showcasing agroforestry based watershed sites, maintenance of in-vivo gene bank, business incubator, small, medium and commercial level agroforestry based industries.
