Agroforestry in Chhattisgarh: A Model for Green and Sustainable Development

Chhattisgarh, the “Rice Bowl of India,” is not only an agricultural hub but also a land of dense forests and tribal heritage.

With 44% forest cover, the state holds immense potential for sustainable agricultural practices, making agroforestry a promising model for development.

Agroforestry, which integrates trees, crops, and livestock on the same land, offers an effective solution to combat land degradation, deforestation, and climate change while improving farmers' livelihoods.
